Lent is the forty day period that lasts from Ash Wednesday,the seventh wednesday before Easter, to Easter sunday. The six sundays leading up to easter are excluded from the period of lent because Christ rose on a sunday and it would therefore be inappropriate to fast and regret sin. Lent represents the time that Jesus spent in the desert being tempted by satan. It is a period of repentence and fasting. However,The fasting has relaxed throughout time.
