I've just recently come onto this thread, and I'm far from a religious 
scholar,
but I think Lent is different from Jesus, or at least the tradition started 
differently
from the Judaism. Doesn't Lent celebrate mankind surviving the Flood?
That's why it lasts 40 days and you cannot eat anything but fish because all
other animals were preserved on the ark.

I don't know how this then coincided with Jesus' ressurection and I could
totaly have my facts screwed.
