∙ 15y agoLent is a movable liturgical season, meaning that it has no fixed date on which it annually begins. Lent is always forty days long and always begins on a Wednesday, as Easter must always fall on a Sunday. The first day of Lent for any year is determined by first calculating the date that Easter will fall upon, then counting backwards 40 days, not including Sundays.

Lent has no exact date, it floats with Easter. It always begins on the Wednesday after Mardi Gras. It begins 40 days before Easter. Interestingly enough, it was meant to align with the Georgian Calendar, so it has a set date on that one.
