\"lent<\/a>It all depends on what Christian sect you belong to. Today is Great Lent<\/a> according to the Eastern Orthodox Church<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What does Lent mean to you?<\/h3>\n

Over the years my answer to that has changed drastically. It went from a time of suffering and deprivation to nothing, to a time to go within and deepen my connection with the divine.<\/p>\n
