Ahhh, Lent.
I really admire Orthodox Christians, but the Lord was gracious enough to give this Southern Protestant a Catholic instead of Orthodox husband.
In Orthodoxy the fasting is serious business. Fish Fridays are a cake walk compared to what they do! I'm awe inspired and impressed. We're talking no meat throughout all of Lent (all 40 days), no dairy throughout all of Lent, no olive oil or wine except on Saturday and Sunday and feast days. Oh yes, and also on certain feast days you can have fish!
Here is an amazing humorous look at Lent from the Orthodox perspective.
This blogger is actually amazing in general, and even this non-Orthodox gal gets most of his humor. Check it out. He writes some really funny cartoons about Orthodoxy, but most Christians should be able to relate.
