When does Lent end for Catholics?

Catholic AnswerLent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends forty days later with the beginning of the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday evening (during Holy Week), and the Sacred Triduum begins. Most people carry on their Lenten practices through the Sacred Triduum ending with the beginning of the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday evening. Good Friday is a day of complete fast and abstinence and the Church urges everyone to continue their fast through Holy Saturday.
