Everything Eaten Yesterday

Pardon my asking, but do you typically observe Lent?

Not in a food way - more in a spiritual, almsgiving way. I'm using Lent as an excuse to add the food component. I spent Wednesday reading and reflecting on the Gospel of Thomas which, to me, is a better spiritual guide than the canonical texts.

Edit - I also observe Yom Kippur, participate in Diwali, and observe parts of Ramadan.
