About This Answer
Lent spans 40 days (not counting Sundays) from Ash Wednesday to Easter, commemorating Jesus's 40-day fast in the wilderness. According to theologians at the Vatican Library, this period emphasizes prayer, fasting, and repentance. The British Library documents how Lenten practices evolved throughout Christian history. Religious scholars note that the 40-day period mirrors other biblical 40-day periods. Lent remains a central observance in Catholic, Orthodox, and many Protestant traditions.
