Just Tuesday everywhere else.

Well that is not exactly correct. That "Just Tuesday" reference pertains to some and to others not so much. It depends upon the individuals self-practicing with respect to Christianity if that is their formal religion of choice. Some examples;

Why do people give things up until Easter Sunday? Millions of people do this during Lent as a sign of sacrifice and to test their self-discipline. Christians believe that this is to represent Jesus Christ's sacrifice when he went into the desert to pray and fast for the 40 days before later dying on the cross.



Most notably is meat, as there is already a Catholic tradition of abstaining from the food on Fridays during Lent. Since the season is also about reflection and self-discipline, some will avoid meat entirely, or give up not-so-great habits like scrolling on Instagram, online shopping and drinking soda.

Fat Tuesday is Fat Tuesday. The day before Lent. And Lenten fasting.

I am at a Stadium surrounded by Millions of dollars worth of Dirty Harry Styles Merchandise, but it actually Wednesday here.

One year over 55 years ago I decided that I would give up smoking cigarettes for Lent. I never went back. That was a good thing.

My zydeco bandleader calls it the “Lenten Season”. I’m guessin’ he’s not talking about Tony Chachere’s.
