If you give something up for lent, what is it.

I'm giving up sweets. It's going to be a long time until Easter.
I'm also going to fast on fridays.

Lent is the time of preparation for Holy Week, leading up to Easter. For many, it is a time to give up something that they really like or enjoy a time to do penance for your sins. During Lent, Catholics abstain from meat on Fridays, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Lent lasts for a period of 40 days.

I follow the no meat on Friday thing very strictly so I don't give up anything else.

not a darn thing

Kay Scarpetta · 03-06-2003, 09:04 PM

Nothing....seeing as I'm an Athiest. But before that, I never really did. My parents would have fish on Friday's though

Instead of giving up something for Lent, I always try to do some good deeds, like donating extra food and clothing that doesn't fit me anymore to the needy.

bandito · 03-06-2003, 09:16 PM

I usually give up drinking.

shavelyLBC34 · 03-06-2003, 09:44 PM

Candy, sweets, chocolate...stuff like that

*PinkLady* · 03-06-2003, 09:54 PM

Nothing. I'm considering fasting, but that has nothing to do with Lent.

Is this supposed to keep you from going to hell or something? If not, then why bother.
