You might be wondering, exactly what is Lent? Most people associate\u00a0Lent with\u00a0a period of “abstinence” from foods, and following Lenten recipes.\u00a0Fasting just by\u00a0itself has no real meaning. Its role is supposed to be a part of the attainment of Christian virtues. These virtues include:<\/p>\n

Faith
\nHope
\nWisdom
\nHonesty
\nHumility
\nPatience
\nCourage
\nFaithfulness
\nGenerosity
\nGratitude and
\nLove, the greatest virtue of all.<\/p>\n

So, Lent is a time for self-examination and preparation, and of taking an inventory of your\u00a0inner, spiritual life. Fasting is just one part of Lent .<\/p>\n

“Let us fast an acceptable and very pleasing fast to the Lord. True fast is the estrangement from evil, temperance of tongue, abstinence from anger, separation from desires, slander, falsehood perjury. Privation of these is true fasting.”<\/em>
\nA Hymn of First Monday of Lent By St. Basil the Great<\/p>\n

I have several cookbooks of my Mother’s<\/a> and many of them have Lenten recipes. My Mother had definitely attained many of the virtues I listed above.<\/p>\n
