Lent

Today, Christians begin Lent for a period of 40 days. Established in the 4th century, it is a liturgical time of devotion to God associated with an alternation of days of complete fasting and days of abstinence in reference to the days of fasting of Jesus in the desert recounted by the three synoptic gospels. This period precedes Easter. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #Lent #Christianity #40days
