Im a practising Catholic and every year I fast, but you can give up anything you can deny yourself for Lent. What have any of you who are Christian given up or done for almsgiving this Lent x 40 days leading up to Holy Week, the Triduum. I wish you all peace and love for Easter. X

As its Lent they said I could eat lightly or fast, I decided to eat fast.
(Only joking, I’m actually over the age limit for fasting, peace be with you.)

Did you give anything up for Lent @Quinty? I can't say I did. I do sometimes try to take something up, but not this year.
