Which season precedes Easter in the Church calendar?

Explanation:
Lent is the season that prepares us for Easter in the Church calendar. It lasts about forty days (not counting Sundays) and is a time for prayer, fasting, and giving to others, inviting reflection on Jesus’ life and sacrifice. It begins on Ash Wednesday and leads into Holy Week, which includes Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and finally Easter Sunday. Advent comes before Christmas, Christmas celebrates Jesus’ birth, and Ordinary Time fills the periods outside the major seasons, so none of those precede Easter in the same direct way.
