As the year 2023 comes to a close, many people are already looking forward to the next year's Lenten season. Lent is a 40-day period of reflection and renewal observed by Christians around the world. In 2024, Lent will start on Wednesday, March 6, and end on Thursday, April 18. During this time, Christians engage in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as a way of preparing for Easter Sunday.
