Question: what does it say in the bible about lent?
Answer: Lent in the New Testament Today, Lent is connected with the 40-day fast that Jesus undergoes (Mark 1:13; Matthew 4:1–11; Luke 4:1–13). ... But it was only after Christians began to fast specifically prior to Easter, about 300 years after Jesus's death, that anyone looked to the Bible to find a source for the practice.
