“Lent is not a Christian celebration; it is the remembrance of the 40 years of Tammuz’ life before he was executed by Shem. Christians do not practice Lent.”

Yes, it has NOTHING to do with Jesus fasting forty days in the wilderness. Or Moses fasting forty days on the mountain. Or the people of Nineveh fasting forty days for the purpose of repentance. Just a remarkable coincidence.

Find Lent in the scriptures, and also find how it represents Yeshua’s or Moses’ fasts.

Not holding my breath, of course.
