Actually I'm not surprised you haven't heard about it Snowthy. Most non-Catholics don't really do anything about Lent because not many of their churches give official recognition to the seasons of the church year except for Christmas and Easter which even the whole world acknowledges at least in their own secularized sort of way.
And I'm also proud of Mrs.Pepper for being able to fulfill her lenten vow. I've realized now she is my Catholic sister God bless you Mrs.Pepper and you too Snowthy.
