Lent is a period of fasting that leads up to the Christian observance of Easter. The season is 40 days long and serves to represent Jesus Christ's 40-day fast in the desert. Many people choose to give up things that they are hooked on, such as cigarettes, sodas, social media or junk food.

Although Lent is known as a Catholic holiday, many other denominations participate as well. Lent starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.
