What are you giving up for Lent?

Answering questions on R&S.

LENT.. I am giving up Bashing Roman Catholics.... How about That

I have to wait till after Lent and Pascha.

Lent is a Great Holy Fast

(Greek Lent: Megali Sarakosti or Tessarakosti)

FISH AND SHELLFISH

For the Orthodox world, Lent began last Monday, and so did the 40 day Lenten fast. In this context, “fasting” doesn’t mean not eating at all, rather it means restricting one’s diet by eliminating all meat, eggs and dairy. Fish and shellfish are allowed. Devout Greeks actually fast for 120 days each year: 40 days before Christmas, 40 days before Easter, and 40 days before the Assumption of Mary. This is fully 1/3 of the year! Because of this, Greeks have developed a whole cuisine of delicious foods called “nistisima” that have no meat, eggs or dairy. As long as you avoid the seafood, these dishes are not only vegetarian, but also vegan. Mama’s Taverna will be serving up only nistisima during Lent, but don’t worry, it’ll be really good!

Here is what you should give if

You can have fish . ( No Meat Or Dairy)

Salads are allowed Fruit etc.. All Light Foods. ( Leaven Breads,Vegetable Soups)

You should Only eat a little of these foods and should try to completely fast

I don't give anything up for Lent. Instead I try to add something good to my life. Like joining a bible study group, visit the elderly in a nursing home with my son; Just try to help others the most I can.

I've given up drinking 19 yrs ago, smoking 6 yrs ago and overeating 4 weeks ago. I can't give anything else up.

Believing in false teachings like Lent.
