Lent is a solemn period in the Christian calendar lasting 40 days (excluding Sundays) that begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Holy Saturday. It is a time for believers to reflect on their own mortality, repentance, and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Through acts of self-discipline and spiritual contemplation, individuals seek to purify their hearts and draw closer to God. By participating in the Lenten journey, Christians aim to deepen their faith, seek forgiveness, and experience personal transformation as they prepare to celebrate the joyous resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday.
