It's a forty day period where some Christians give up something, and often fast and pray in preparation for Easter. :)

I do not celebrate Lent for it is typically a Catholic tradition and I am not Catholic. But I'm giving up something, forever hopefully, that I'm not sharing. lol

Well, Anglican churches are really just the same thing as Catholic churches. When Henry VIII greated the Anglican church, it was basically the same traditions as the Catholic church just he could divorce Catherine.

No, I didn't say that. But they do have a lot of the same traditions. There ceremonies often look identical.

I'm not giving up anything.
But I'm a vegetarian anyhow, so I guess technically I'm fasting :P

no that is called abstaining, fasting is when you eat two lighter meals, and only drink water.

I totally should have known that, we went over it in religion class at school today.
But in any case, I guess I'm abstaining, even if I don't intend to :P

So does anyone else besides me go to Lent service every Wednesday night? I haven't really thought about if I'm gonna give up anything, but I'm thinking maybe soda. It's not good for you.
