The period of Lent begins on February 15. On April 4, the Armenian Church will celebrate Easter.
The 40 days of Lent symbolize the period of Christ's forty days of prayer, fasting and repentance in the desert.
During the Lent, only plant-based foods are used. Those who observe Lent abstain not only from certain foods, but also from greedy habits, gossip, lying, cursing and other sins.
