@PurpleCandyCane well, in Brazil, it's only worth for Catholic believers (I don't really know if in US, christian believers consider Lent in their religion) anyways, in this time of the year, that lasts 40 days, people stop sinning that much, we stay in mourning, we pray a lot and avoy doing things we like, like listening to songs with indecent lyrics, and some of us give up of something we really like, like meat, chocolate, rice, soda....... The reason we do that is because this 40 days are the days Jesus Christ stayed and spent on the desert, before he was crucified by the jews. In this 40 days, he and the apostles didn't drink nor eat anything, and they were tempted by the devil many times. When this 40 days on desert ended, Christ arrived in Jerusalem, where people judged him, and crucified him, on the Good Friday, at 3:00 p.m. 3 days after his death, he resurrected on Easter, and he ascended to Heaven, proving his Divinity. In Catholicism, Easter is the most important day of the year (probably it is for christians, as well, but I don't really know, as I've said that here in Brazil, christians don't consider it). I hope I helped :)
