The Season of Lent is celebrated annually by Catholics. It's a season of fasting and abstinence. It's also the time when many people visit different churches or visit other places and trying on some delicacies. When I was in Pampanga I saw that almost every block has a make shift chapel where anybody who goes there to read the Passion is being offered something to eat like some popular Filipino delicacies. In my place now we don't miss cooking a mixture of different rootcrops boiled and cooked in Coconut milk and sugar which we call ginataan in tagalog or binignit in Cebuano.

Am a catholic but I have not been following the lenten season prayer and fasting. Though, my philosophy about religion have changed over time. I don't attach more significant on some religious rituals now. Spirituality should not be seasonal. Spirituality is a state of been spiritually active or awake.

That's true.. Glad you are a Catholic. Celebrating Lenten is actually a time for reflection and recollection. The rituals are part of it to remind us who we really are.
We are going to that though fasting and abstinence but I'm currently distant to the people that I know even to my brother.

Do you live far from your relatives? Holy week also become a reunion time. It's the only time of the year that has the longest holiday.
I can't do it for now.
We don't practice this in my family, as it isn't something we do with the rest of Christianity. Though we do have a family dinner every Easter.

That's a good virtue my friend. I cannot do fasting but we did abstinence on Good Friday.

That's good to know. It's sort of a family bonding for you to celebrate Easter and what's more meaningful is dining with your love ones. Happy Easter.
That is good to hear about your pledge to God. It is a holiday this day, no work, no classes, so RIF time.
