Lent/ash wednesday

What did you give up for lent?

I gave up 2 things
1. meat
2. sugar/junk food

Im not catholic, nor do I celebrate lent, but I would give up candy and television.

Yeah i gave up sweets, all of them with no exceptions. i had a good fat tuesday yesterday, i stocked up. now i'm going to see how much weight i can lose... or gain, muscle weighs more than fat.

Im not catholic but i am in a catholic school so ii decided to give up something.

Swearing. =]

I don't celebrate it, but I heard some kid in one of my classes gave up kissing. I laughed at him,
1. because he has never been kissed in his life
and
2. that's a pretty silly thing to give up. haha. but hey, to each their own I guess.

Im a catholic but
i actually forgot it was ash weds// i dont wanna promise and cant keep it but ill avoid eating meat specially pork on the lent season ill

Back in the days before i could articulate my beliefs i came upon a similar situation.

A pastor asked, "what did you give up for lent?".
i responded, "catholicism".

He was not amused.

And I can see why.

^^^Lent is a 40-day liturgical season starting on Ash Wednesday (you receive ashes to show we are poor and unclean); Lent prepares Christians for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and during this time we 1. Pray 2. Fast. 3. Almsgiving (time, talent, treasure).

Well said "Something To Say"

its a routine or a annual practice but catholic people. its also time to rest for others coz during holyweek from palm sunday to esther people doesnt have work

Hmmm...

id prolly have to give up caffeine or candy XD

2 weeks ago i gave up eating all sorts of candy :)
