2023 was one of those rare years when Ramadan, Passover, and Easter overlapped with each other. Of course, Ramadan and Passover are still going on, but the Catholic community is now free from the shackles of Lent, and I'm happy for them. I have never taken part in giving up something for Lent, but if I had to choose, that would be the religious food restriction of my choice. Fasting for Ramadan sounds like the most difficult thing you could ever do. I know it's not that bad, and most Muslims don't like it when you imply it's an impressive feat, but I can't help it! When you're raised all secular, the only dietary restrictions you're subject to are self-imposed, and that's no fun at all! If you're dieting all the time and it isn't even for God, it's probably way less rewarding than not eating leavened bread for a noble religious cause.
