The Season of Lent: The Season of Lent began on Ash Wednesday which was a day of Fasting and Abstinence from meat. All who have reached the age of 14 are bound by the law of abstinence. The law of fasting applies to all who have not reached the age of 60. Other forms of Penance include works of charity, prayers and devotional exercises.
