The Easter celebration in the Catholic Church begins with a 40-day period of prayer, fasting, and penance preceding Easter. During this period, Catholics are to abstain from meat on Fridays, especially Good Friday. They are to avoid overindulging in food, drink, or entertainment. Catholics are to give up non-essential luxuries like expensive clothing or jewelry. They are to try and break bad habits like gossiping, swearing, or watching excessive TV and reflect on and try to avoid sinful behaviours, seeking forgiveness and reconciliation.

Still during this period, Catholics increase their prayer time, especially during lenten devotions like stations of the cross. They fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, and consider fasting on other days. Every Catholic is expected to increase charitable giving, volunteering, and acts of kindness, reading and reflecting on scripture, especially the Gospels.
