Did you know…
“Lent” is derived from the old Anglo-Saxon word “Lencten,” for spring.
Lenten observances began very early, as both Irenaeus and Terrullian refer to it, but it was originally very brief, only gradually growing to forty days. At first, a fast of forty hours was observed, then a week. But by A.D. 325, the Council of Nicaea recognized forty days of Lent. These forty days included Sundays, but by the seventh century Lent was extended to forty days, excluding Sundays, and Ash Wednesday was established.
