Lent is the time of preparation for Easter - the death and resurrection of Jesus. It begins with Ash Wednesday, 40 days before Easter Saturday. The 40 days is a reflection of the time spent by Jesus in the desert, where he was tempted by the devil. Christians observe this by prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial. It helps to remind the believer of the sacrifice on the cross and the joy of the resurrection. Jesus death and resurrection is known as the most important season of the Christian calendar and Lent helps Christians to prepare for this time of the liturgical year. Ramadan is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims do not eat or drink anything from true dawn until sunset. Fasting is meant to teach the person patience, sacrifice and humility. Ramaḍān is a time to fast for the sake of God, and to offer more prayer than usual. During Ramaḍān, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds. It is about spiritual cleansing. So, the similarly, both seasons are about prayer and self-denial and building a closer relationship with God. They are both about spiritual cleansing. However, Lent helps believers to be cleansed and prepared for Easter - the season which is central to Christian beliefs - and Ramadan is not used for this purpose or any other similar purpose at all.

The Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday, marking a 40-day period of reflection, prayer, and fasting leading up to Easter Sunday. During this time, Christians often engage in acts of penance and self-denial, commemorating Jesus' temptation in the desert. The season includes significant observances like Palm Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and Holy Week, culminating in Good Friday, which honors the crucifixion. Finally, Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, symbolizing hope and renewal.

Yes, Kmart is open on Good Friday and Easter. The only exceptions are a couple of states in the east, where they will be closed on Easter.

Good Friday is called "good" because it marks the day of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, which Christians believe brought salvation to humanity. The term "good" is thought to derive from an older meaning of the word, signifying "holy" or "pious." Despite the somber nature of the events commemorated, it is seen as a pivotal moment in Christianity that leads to the celebration of Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. Thus, it reflects the profound redemptive significance of Christ's sacrifice.

Lenten practices help us receive spiritual growth, deeper self-reflection, and a renewed connection to faith. By engaging in fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, individuals can cultivate discipline, empathy, and a greater awareness of their relationship with God and others. These practices often lead to a sense of renewal and preparation for the celebration of Easter. Ultimately, they encourage a transformation of heart and mind, fostering a more profound understanding of love, sacrifice, and community.

In the Catholic Church, fish may be eaten on any day of the year. Some Anglicans and Episcopalians choose to follow Roman Catholic fast and abstinence practices, so such people would presumably not avoid eating fish on religious grounds.

Eastern Orthodox Christians and Oriental Orthodox Christians generally have stricter fast and abstinence rules than Western Christians. Some of these Eastern Church have had abstinence rules may prohibit fish on certain days, including Palm Sunday, and some of them may continue to have these rules in force for their members. Individual Churches may follow abstinence rules that vary from one national church to another within the larger Orthodox Communion or Oriental Orthodox Communion, and the rules may change over time as well.
