Just to add that the Orthodox Church also has a period of Lent.
Monday was "clean Monday" (public holiday) which is the start of Greek Lent. You have traditional unleavened bread and seafood. Greeks traditionally give up meat and animal products but they also electively give up other things - like chocolate and so on.
We don't do it in our house - we had schnitzel's (homemade) yesterday.
