As many of our readers know, we’re in a the midst of the special season in the Christian church calendar known as Lent. During the weeks before Easter, many Christians choose to give up a luxury or indulgence in order to grow nearer to God. During the season, many worshipers observe a tradition of abstaining from eating red meat on Fridays. Some observers forgo red meat throughout the entire season.
