Lent 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.
