LENT STARTING
Support A1+!Lent begins from February 23. It lasts for 48 days, from Shrove-tide to Revival /Easter/. This year Easter will be celebrated on April 11.
During Lent only vegetable foodstuffs are used. People also renounce some bad habits, verbosity, lie, ribaldry and other sins.
40 days of the Lent symbolize the 40 days when Jesus passed in a desert, praying, without food and water. A week follows the Fast. So the 40-day-long Lent lasts for 48 days.
