A Lenten calendar or Lent calendar is a special calendar used by Western Christians to count the days of Lent in anticipation of Easter.
Lenten calendars traditionally start on Ash Wednesday and conclude on Easter Day.
As with an Advent calendar, a Lenten calendar often has windows or flaps containing “a scriptural verse for each day, a reflection question, and an action that is appropriate and achievable”.
The Bible verse for the day is frequently accompanied by an image relating to Lent.
Christians often use Lenten calendars as a part of their Lenten devotions.
Below are the different stations that are also illustrated by images to show the pain Jesus went through, betrayal, suffering and loneliness, but not revealing the victory (Resurrection and place of authority that Our Lord is sitting in at the right hand side of His father in Heaven).
- Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane;
- Jesus is betrayed by Judas and arrested;
- Jesus is condemned by the Sanhedrin;
- Jesus is denied by Peter;
- Jesus is judged by Pilate;
- Jesus is scourged and crowned with thorns;
- Jesus takes up his cross;
- Jesus is helped by Simon of Cyrene to carry his cross;

- Jesus is crucified;
- Jesus promises his kingdom to the repentant thief;
- Jesus entrusts Mary and John to each other;
