Christians all over the world celebrate Lent starting on Ash Wednesday, March 2, 2022 — it's a season of reflection and preparation leading up to Easter Sunday on April 17, 2022.
"Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry" (Matthew 4:1-2).
Believers typically fast or give up certain food or activities for 40 days in commemoration of the 40 days that Jesus Christ fasted in the desert.
