reflect from past AND better yourself for good.

 Many Christians around the world commemorate the Lenten season as a time of fasting, penance, and spiritual reflection, especially those who belong to the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Eastern Orthodox churches. Ash Wednesday, which is 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday, marks the start of Lent. Holy Saturday, the day before Easter, marks its conclusion. As a kind of self-control and sacrifice during Lent, Christians may decide to give up particular indulgences or vices in order to devote more time to prayer, repentance, and charitable endeavors. The purpose of this time is to prepare for the Easter Sunday celebration of Jesus' resurrection as well as to remember the 40 days that he spent fasting and praying in the desert before commencing his public ministry.

According to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, lent is the solemn Christian religious observance in the liturgical year that honors the 40 days that Jesus Christ spent fasting in the wilderness and undergoing Satan's temptation before starting his public ministry. The Christian traditions of the Eastern Orthodox, Moravian, Methodist, Oriental Orthodox, Church of the East, United Protestant, and Roman Catholic churches all celebrate Lent. While many churches in these traditions do not observe Lent, certain Anabaptist, Baptist, Reformed (including specific Continental Reformed, Presbyterian and Congregationalist churches), and nondenominational Christian churches do.

In the majority of Lent-observant denominations, Holy Week, which begins on Palm Sunday, falls within the final week of Lent. In accordance with the New Testament story, Good Friday marks the anniversary of Jesus' crucifixion, while Easter Sunday, the first day of the Easter season, celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Easter Triduum is observed by several Christian faiths on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.
