Forms of fasting include food, drink or other vices. In Western churches, it begins on Ash Wednesday.ĭuring Lent, many Christians observe a period of fasting, repentance and reflection. Lent is the Christian season of spiritual preparation before Easter. If you've ever found yourself asking questions about why we have pancakes on Shrove Tuesday or what actually happens on Ash Wednesday at the start of Lent, then don't worry. It is during this time that Christians often go without their luxuries such as food or alcohol and dedicate more of their time to self reflection and bible study.
Christians remember how their saviour Jesus Christ resisted temptation from the devil while crossing the desert for 40 days. Lent is a yearly time of reflection, repentance and fasting before the celebration of Easter.
