That depends on what you mean by "celebrate Lent." Lent is a liturgical season, meaning a church season. The major and most notable ways of marking the season are seen at mass.
Now, there are many traditions that Catholics are encouraged to observe during Lent, usually summed up by "prayer, fasting, and almsgiving." More specifically, things like Stations of the Cross, extra masses, "rice bowls," abstaining from meat on Fridays, etc.
If a Catholic goes to mass, he or she will have no choice BUT to celebrate Lent. As for the rest, while some traditions are more strongly encouraged than others, that's pretty much up to the individual.

that's giving up meat(not fish) on Ash Wednesday, good Friday and all the Fridays of Lent. another faiths do besides. uncertain on Baptists. Many Protestants spend all day preaching hate in the direction of Catholics and dropping time all day attempting to evade their human beings from changing returned to Catholicism(the unique faith of Christianity). Catholics oftentimes don't comprehend alot approximately different Christian faiths as we don't have the time to speak approximately them. we are too busy analyzing God's be conscious, doing His will and attempting to be good human beings. in case you purchased and tension a BMW or Cadillac, might you spend lots time finding at or getting to understand approximately Ford Escorts and Yugos? Nope. you would be pleased with your super vehicle and in basic terms wish all human beings else is content textile with even though they are driving.
