Lent is observed in many Christian denominations worldwide, including Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant churches. It typically takes place in the lead-up to Easter, lasting for 40 days (excluding Sundays) and commemorating Jesus' fasting in the desert. The observance includes various practices such as prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. While the specifics of the observance may vary by tradition, the general theme of reflection and repentance is central to all.
