IT might not quite fit the image of youthful rebellion and excess but young people are more willing than their elders to give something up for lent"
By John Bingham, Religious Affairs Editor
"The survey by YouGov for The Church Times found that 35 per cent of people aged 18 to 24 were planning to give something up for lent this year.
It compares with 30 per cent of 25 to 34-year-olds and only 21 per cent of those over 35.
But the survey, conducted to mark the Church Times’s 150th anniversary, also revealed some confusion over the meaning of the 40-day period of fasting and self denial leading up to Easter.
Asked to write what they thought lent was, most variously described it as a time “for giving things up”, a Christian festival or a 40-day observance" The Telrgraph, dt.13.01.2013
