What a lovely thread idea! Thanks for creating it. Sad it's not been used thus far! :frown:

I have not given up/taken up anything for Lent. I have not done so for many years, as I observe/mark Lent differently/in my own way.

I hope all my fellow TSR Christians are having a blessed and meaningful Lent :grouphugs:

I focused on contemplating more on the Passion of Christ and the faith during Lent. I tried to do more of what is righteous. Thank you for starting this thread. I look forward to more events at the church this year like Dawn Dusk where logs are burnt early in the morning. I explained it here in a blog post with some pictures. Happy Easter though everyone.
