Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Maundy Thursday.
During the 40 days before Easter, Roman Catholics are supposed to abstain from all bodily pleasures, including the consumption of meat.
This is intended to remember the fasting of Jesus, who spent 40 days in the desert before beginning his ministry.
