Best Answer

Lent is traditionally the forty days before Easter. Ash Wednesday to holy Saturday, Sundays (6) do not count in the count of forty days as they are celebrated for Jesus refusing the Devil's temptations. Answer: that last answer makes little sense to me. The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday which is 40 days before Easter. Easter is celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon of the vernal equinox. This year,2009, the first full moon of the vernal equinox occurred on Thursday, April 9th and therefore Easter was celebrated on Sunday, April 12th. Ash Wednesday was February 25th.
