Lent

Lent

Noun

Lent is a proper noun referring to a specific liturgical season in the Christian calendar. Because it denotes a unique, singular period of time, it is always capitalized and is treated as a non-count noun in standard usage.

Usage of the term is primarily restricted to religious or ecclesiastical contexts. While it can be used in secular conversation to describe a period of fasting or austerity, it retains its specific association with the forty days preceding Easter.
