Lent: A definition

Lent
Lent comes from the Anglo-Saxon: Old English word Lenctentid (pron
LENG-ten-teed), which means the time of lengthening. Welsh is Llen:
lengthening, flowing. teneuder: thinness. The entire spring season was
called Lenctentid. When Christianity arrived the days of Lent became the
forty days Christ fasted in the desert. The first day was called Ash
Wednesday and the last week called Holy Week; commemorated the last
week of Christ's life.
