Many I know give up something for Lent, and don't eat meat on Fridays.

And then some people give up meat once a month, the first -- something of the month, I don't remember.

I also know there was the nothing to eat before Mass thing, too, if you were going to take Communion.

(I was raised Catholic, I chose Quakerism, that's how I know this Catholic stuff, my family still is.)
