Lent begins for Orthodox Christians in Bulgaria as of today, 11 March. It stretches over seven weeks and ends one day before Easter, which this year falls on 28 April.
Lent symbolizes Jesus Christ’s withdrawal into the desert before his sacrifice. It is believed that abstention from animal food purifies the body and the soul. For Christians Lent is a time of reflection on the meaning of life, a time to repent for any wrongdoing and to seek a new road to the sublime and to one’s own self.
