There is one day our God set aside specifically for self-denial/discipline and it is the Day of Atonement when we set aside our usual activities and remember His Son shed his blood as atonement for our sinful ways.
If we agree to live by God's Set of Instructions
we will naturally become disciplined.
Lent is an added 40 day tradition starting with Ash Wed., and it's origins can be traced back to the days of Tammuz. I have read that these 40 days represent the time our Messiah spent in the wilderness, but this is not a 'holiday' Our Father set apart for us.
Read Acts when you have time.
•Chapter 1 relates to the 40th day after the resurrection of Yahshua son of God and the remaining nine days until Shavuot
•Chapter 2 relates to the 50th day (Shavuot/Pentecost) after the resurrection of Yahshua and the events of that day.
Religion copied the 40 day routine from the time women wept for Tammuz and renamed it the time Jesus spent in the wilderness. They celebrate the time leading up to the death and resurrection of Jesus ending with the pagan celebration of Easter.
Yah's set time is the 40 days after the resurrection of His Son when he was taken up to sit on his throne next to his Father; and the 10 days until His Spirit was given to the 12 Apostles.
