Period for penance (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lent

(Other definitions for lent that I've seen before include "Period of fasting" , "Gave the use of for a time" , "days before Easter" , "Christian period of abstinence" , "From Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
