Lent 2025 begins on Ash Wednesday, which falls on March 5, 2025. It ends on Holy Saturday, April 19, 2025, the day before Easter Sunday. Lent traditionally consists of 40 fasting days, excluding Sundays, which are considered “mini-Easters” and days of celebration. The period spans 46 calendar days, including the six Sundays.

Easter in 2025 will be observed on Sunday, April 20. This date is determined based on the ecclesiastical rules that calculate the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox, which is fixed as March 21 for the purposes of these calculations. The astronomical spring equinox in 2025 is on March 20, but the ecclesiastical equinox is always set as March 21. The next full moon after this date is on April 13, 2025, making April 20 the first subsequent Sunday.
