Clean Lent
a. A period of fasting and penitence, beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending shortly before Easter, observed in the Christian Church in commemoration of the time Jesus spent in the wilderness. Now also: a period of fasting or abstinence observed at the same time in secular culture. Formerly also in: † Clean Lent in the same sense (obsolete). Different denominations calculate the period slightly differently, but Lent is typically based on a period of forty days, excluding Sundays.
