Lent

[Mortimer]

Will you fast? I'll try, I'll just fast as much as I can, sometimes I might not, or not every day, but I'll try.

I do this because then the joy of Easter seems greater to me (keyword "cleaning" and "penance"), and I hope to lose a little weight.

Just buy sugar-free candies and diet tv dinners or you may go into deprivement shock.

Lent means in english, that season where the Christians fast 40 days before Easter.

Lent is from "leng ten", a long day or period of fasting, with "ten" being cognate to Lithuanian diena "day".
