Question: When Is Lent 2013?
Lent is the season of penance and prayer before Easter. When is Lent 2013?
Answer: Lent starts every year on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday. Ash Wednesday 2013 falls on February 13, 2013, and Holy Saturday 2013 falls on March 30, 2013.
