Poll: Are you still doing Lent?
WE’RE OVER TWO weeks into Lent and four weeks out from Easter.
A Christian tradition, people test themselves each year by making a Lenten vow and give something up in the 40-day lead in to Easter.
For some, it’s easy to abstain.
For others, the temptation is too great, those Easter eggs on supermarket shelves too enticing.
So, today we’re asking: Are you still doing Lent?
Poll Results:
No, I gave up giving up (2898)
No interest/No opinion (2696)
Yes, I'm still going strong (2417)
