Lent is the period of penitence through which Christians prepare for the observance of Jesus Christs death and resurrection. It takes place for the forty days preceding Easter Sunday, beginning on Ash Wednesday. It has traditionally been regarded as a period of fasting, with observances ranging from strict fasting, to the keeping specific fast days such as Ash Wednesday or Good Friday, or simply "giving something up for lent".
