I realize several of you were hoping to see our notes about Lent up here already (and probably before Easter at least). I have started the article and hope to have something up soon. Until then, I got some of my stuff from wikipedia anyway, so check out the articles there: Lent and Great Lent. If anyone knows what Coptics or others do for Lent (or don’t do), be sure and comment.

Well, nevermind about the Copts. Looks like they are serial fasters (if this article is correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_and_abstinence_of_the_Coptic_Orthodox_Church_of_Alexandria#The_fast_of_Great_Lent)
But I guess their fasting means going vegan which the more devout do 210 days a year (so says the wiki-mind).
