Well a couple of weeks ago we started Lent. If you do not know what Lent is..well then I will tell you. Lent if for Catholics first of all. It's where we give up at least 1 or 2 or 3 things that we are attached to, like watching TV. And every Friday we do not eat meat. And you have to only eat at least 1 snack, 1 full meal and 1 small snack. It's always good to not eat meat for 40 days but sometimes you need a little meat once in a while. But the point of really what Lent is, is when Jesus Christ was crucified. He died for our sins, so to make this more clear for you to understand is that we do something for him, since he did something for us. So we give up something that we really like.
During Lent we try to go to Daily mass or pray the rosary at least once a day. These kinds of things you can even do when it's not even lent. It's just as good too. One thing about eating the meat on Fridays, children do not count for the fasting. Also good to go to Confession before Easter. That is some facts about Lent and fasting.
