TIME TO ABSTAIN is a phrase that is often associated with the Christian season of LENT. LENT is a period of 40 days, beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending on Easter Sunday, during which Christians abstain from certain activities or foods as a form of penance. During this time, many people choose to give up something that they enjoy in order to focus on spiritual growth and renewal. TIME TO ABSTAIN is a reminder to Christians to take this time to reflect and practice self-discipline.
