What Does Lent Mean?

The word lent in all over the internet. But what is lent? Lent is a 40-day period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that prepares Christians for Easter. It's a time to remember Jesus's life, death, and resurrection, and to repent for your sins.

You can get coffee and donuts or hang out with your friends wherever you want, but only at church will someone rub an ash cross on your forehead and remind you of your mortality.

It's as spiritually meaningful as sprinkles or no sprinkles on your doughnut.
