About Lent
Lent is a period in the Christian calendar leading up to Holy Week, which culminates in Easter. Lent is traditionally a time when fasting occurred in past times. Today many people 'give up' something for Lent in order to be in a more reflective mood.
About Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, which occurs 46 days before Easter. It is preceded each year by Fat Tuesday, also known as Mardi Gras. Ash Wednesday is on March 9 this year (2011).
