Today begins the Lenten Season, so for the next 46 days we will be observing the Lenten fasting traditions and of the most common being abstention from certain kinds of food or activities. The period is most commonly thought of as a symbol of the 40 days and nights Jesus spent struggling with the devil in the wilderness. While sometimes regarded as a predominantly Roman Catholic observance, for Christians of all denominations it is a time of preparation and self-sacrifice through fasting, giving up worldly desires and activities. I haven't yet decided what I will give up for Lent yet but, I'm working on it.
