If observed, it really messes up the diet, doesn' t it.

Five levels of lent according to Orthodox Christians:
* Abstaining from meat, eggs, milk, butter, and cheese
* Abstaining from meat, eggs, milk, butter, cheese, and fish
* Abstaining from meat, eggs, milk, butter, cheese, fish, oil, and wine
* Abstaining from all foods and beverages except bread, water, juices, honey, and nuts.
 
There is also a sixth level but is hardly observered.
Priests abstaining from alter boys. :nono:

They threw that one out centuries ago. I give up giving up.
 
IMO, lent is meant to abstain from something... in order to prepare your soul for spiritual transformation and joy.

Thats why for Lent, I gave up Catholasisim


LMFAO.....................I work in a catholic hospital and love it, but bread, water, honey and nuts? Thats the first time I had heard that one. We had suggestions of what to give up for lent but it wasnt that extreme.

:iggthumpu No one said you had to give up your medications :D
 
People use that so incorrectly anyway. I know a guy who last year decided he was going to give something up for lent.

We went out for lunch the next day and i asked him what he was abstaning from. He said Mayonaisse and his normal 2nd piece of bread with dinner.

Waht a douchebag.. but it did make me laugh.
