A little-known fact. You get Sundays off from "fasting" over Lent. It's 46 days in total, but you only fast for 40 of them.0

Haha! I'm Lutheran, too...I still give something up for "Lent" every year, though. Last year it was alcohol...this year I'm keeping the alcohol and ditching the scale. Seems much more sensible. :drinker:0 -

I'm giving up my Sunday mornings, to attend church. I haven't been good at all about going, so I'm making a Religious lifestyle change along with my weight loss. I hope to make this a permanent thing, not just for Lent.0

I'm giving up on saying negative things about people (mainly one or two co-workers I dislike), processed foods, and internet surfing past 11pm (usually keeps me up until 12:30-2 in the morning).0

It's a period of sacrifice and preparation for Easter. It's basically a time for Catholics, or other denominations to reflect on their lives and how they can be Christ-like. The 40 days represent the time Christ spent in the desert, leading up to his death and resurrection.
Caholics spend this time praying, repenting (reflecting on their bad-doings, and fixing them) and trying to be closer to God. When we "give up" something for Lent, it's our way of sacrificing for Him.
Definitely not a stupid question!0
