Lent

Lent is one of my least favorite times of the year, only because I have to give up something. But the worst part is I can’t eat meat on Friday’s, and I LOVE meat. Lent typically began’s on ash Wednesday and goes till Easter. Lent is a Catholic/Christian observance for the death of Jesus Christ. Lent was started so that we can show our love and support for Jesus Christ, and the sacrifices he made for us.

The reason it’s meat and not any other type of food is because typically meat is associated with anytime of gathering. Whether it be a family gathering, or just some random gathering with friends. People typically always would have a source of meat. My family has been actively participating in lent for as long as I can remember. Not only is it a way for me to practice my religion, but it’s also a way for me to feel closer to my religion. But it isn’t always perfect, I do sometimes end up eating meat on Friday’s (only because I forget what day of the week it is). Lent will always be something that i can partake in, and hopefully as I get older I can keep track of the right days of the week.
