Life in the UK Test 30
What name is given to the period of time when Christians take time to reflect and prepare for Easter?
Correct Answer: Lent
Lent is a period of 40 days before Easter during which Christians traditionally fast, pray and reflect on their faith.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday.
The 40 days reflect the account of Jesus fasting in the desert. Many Christians give up something for Lent as an act of sacrifice. The week immediately before Easter is known as Holy Week and includes Good Friday (when Jesus's crucifixion is commemorated).
