I'm always fascinated by the flexibility of 'giving up'/'taking on' things for Lent that most of my British friends have. I was raised Greek Orthodox and the Lenten fast is pretty much prescribed: meat, eggs, dairy, wine and olive oil (with flexibility for health and circumstances, obviously). We only did that on Good Friday but still, we knew what it was we weren't doing.

Having said that, I'm not 'doing' Lent at all this year because I'm still exploring conversion to Judaism. So maybe I'm giving up Lent for Lent.
