LENT

In the western church the forty days of Lent extend from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday, omitting Sundays. The last three days of Lent are the sacred Triduum of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. Christians are invited to the observance of a holy Lent through spiritual practices such as prayer, fasting, scripture study, and alms giving.
