Lent is a time for reflection, penance, and spiritual growth.

Roman Catholic Church:

  1. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday:

    • Fasting: Adults aged 18-59 should fast, which means having one full meal and two smaller meals that together do not equal a full meal. No snacks are allowed.

    • Abstinence: Everyone aged 14 and older should abstain from eating meat.

  2. Fridays during Lent:

    • Abstinence: Everyone aged 14 and older should abstain from eating meat.

  3. Personal Sacrifices:

    • Many people choose to give up certain luxuries or take on extra disciplines during Lent, such as giving up sweets, coffee, or social media, or committing to extra prayer or charitable acts.

  4. Exceptions:

    • Those who are ill, pregnant, nursing, or have other health conditions are exempt from fasting and abstinence requirements.
