All of you are evil beyond description!

By way of explanation, I'm not Catholic, nor am I religious (anymore). But 
I wanted to get a feel for what Lent might have been like for a woman in 
1404. But I wanted to start small ;-). Perhaps next year I'll try a full 
Lenten diet, which should be interesting since I don't care for fish!
