Past tense and past participle of lend. the 40 days before Easter when some Christians eat less food or stop doing something that they enjoy (Lenten (11-17 centuries), from lengten; because the days get longer in spring). the past tense and past participle of lend. In the Christian church, a period of penitential preparation for Easter, observed since apostolic times. Western churches once provided for a 40-day fast (excluding Sundays), in imitation of Jesus' fasting in the wilderness; one meal a day was allowed in the evening, and meat, fish, eggs, and butter were forbidden. These rules have gradually been relaxed, and only Ash Wednesday the first day of Lent in Western Christianity, when the penitent traditionally have their foreheads marked with ashes and Good Friday are now kept as Lenten fast days. Rules of fasting are stricter in the Eastern churches
