Fasting and praying for Lent

From 6 February until 22 March, Catholics will be observing the 40 Day Fast of Lent.

The forty days represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, where, according to the Bible, he endured temptation by Satan. Different churches will calculate the forty days differently.

The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer through prayer, penitence, alms giving and self-denial.
