While some people are more passionate than others about the origin, practices, and traditions surrounding Lent, the phrase, "I'm giving it up for Lent" has become commonplace in our culture. Traditionally, those observing Lent give up meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday during Lent, but now this phrase seems to cover everything from chocolate, to well – whatever it is you crave the most.
