Lent

In catholic religion we are actually in the lent time,which mean time of prayer,penitence,forgiveness and sharing.All of that is to prepare the Easter.That begin with the ash Wenesday.On that day all christians catholic should fast,except the people who already have 65 years or more. During this period of time we have two days to fasting and it is obligatory.Those days are "ash Wenesday and goog Friday".After that you don't have to do it,but some people do it for all this period which is equivalent to 40 days.Some do it every Friday,and other every Friday and Wenesday of this time.It is about faith.
