During Lent, people typically engage in various spiritual practices such as fasting, giving up certain luxuries, and dedicating time to prayer and reflection. It’s a period of self-discipline and preparation for the celebration of Easter. Individual observances can vary among different Christian denominations and personal beliefs.
