In some churches, Lent technically ends before that, on the Wednesday before Easter. Thursday through Saturday are their own season, called "The Three Days". Easter is actually a six week season of the church and Easter Sunday should technically be called "Resurrection Sunday--The First Week in Easter" and it runs until the Day of Pentecost, 40 days after Easter.
I learned this working in a Lutheran church, otherwise I would have said it ends on Easter Sunday 12:01 a.m.
Just thought I'd share some liturgical info...

Usually it ends at 12:00:01 AM on Easter Sunday. Some religious groups may insist it ends at sunrise. If they celebrate Midnight Mass or similar celebration on Easter morning, they clearly end Lent on the stroke of midnight.

it incredibly is nearly humorous. this question has arise numerous cases these days. i could disease from the practices of Lent. incredibly sacrifice however to instruct God which you like Him greater beneficial than something, even the failings you like. And do it in secret, no longer because of the fact the "Church" is doing it. yet considering which you desire to in my opinion have that kind of closeness to God.
