		Eastern Christianity calls this period Great Lent, to distinguish it from the Winter Lent or Advent that precedes Christmas (though in Greek, the two periods are the "Great Fast" and the "Nativity Fast").
		Lent is a season of sorrowful reflection that is punctuated by breaks in the fast on Sundays (the day of the resurrection).
		In the Roman Catholic Mass, the Gloria in Excelsis Deo is not sung during the Lenten season, disappearing on Ash Wednesday and not returning until the moment of the Resurrection during the Easter Vigil.

		Eastern_Christianity calls this period Great_Lent, to distinguish it from the Winter Lent or Advent that precedes Christmas (though in Greek, the two periods are the "Great Fast" and the "Nativity Fast").
		The Lent semi-fast may have originated for practical reasons: in old times food stored away in the previous autumn was running out, or had to be used up before it went bad in store, and little or no new food crop was expected soon: compare the period in spring which British gardeners call the "hungry_gap".
		Fasting during Lent is a way for the Christian to identify with Jesus in his suffering, which according to the record in the New_Testament Biblical writings known as the Gospels he underwent for the sake of humans, in order to make propitiation for their failure to keep the laws instituted by God in the Pentateuch.

	Talk:Lent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since I initially wrote the Winter Lent article (at least I think I did), I learned that "Winter Lent" is actually a less common, informal name for the "Fast of the Nativity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ", also sometimes called "St. Philip's Fast" because it starts on Nov. 15, St. Philip's feast day.
		Winter Lent should just redirect to Advent, where these sorts of variations can be spelled out, and for the most part already are.
		The start and end dates of Lent are counted using a couple of different methods, which is explained in more detail later in the article.

		This winter season was also marked by extra prayer, study, and various acts of penance for the sins of one's pre-Christian life.

	Ottawa Mennonite Church sermon
		I'm not wholly unappreciative of the changing seasons, but when winter just hangs on and on and on, the only assurance we have that gray skies will give way to colour and bare limbs of trees give way to branches lush with leaves is some vague memory that it's happened before.
		Lent is the winter of our souls, for it is the time when we anticipate the suffering and death of our Lord.

	Belly Button Window: Making Bliny
		The winter snow is unlikely to melt for some weeks in many parts of Russia, but the celebrations mean seven days of walks through the snow, visiting relatives and gobbling piles of thin pancakes, usually made by the family's grandmother, or babushka.
		The light brown bliny are shaped like small suns, accounting for their central role in pre-Christian festivals of the end of winter, when the returning sun brightens the sky.
		The week, which this year finishes on Sunday, ends with more bliny and the ritual burning of a straw puppet symbolising winter, the ashes of which are spread on the fields to assure fertility ahead of spring planting.
