Now that Mardi Gras is over the Lenten season has begun. For many Christians it is the time to give something up. We checked with some to find out if they are making any sacrifices for Lent.
"I gave up sweets," this man said. "It's extremely hard, but my mom has to give it up too so I have moral support."
"I gave up alcohol for Lent," another man said.
"I'm doing soda, and picking up water," one woman laughed. "Now that's going to be the challenge."
"I'm trying to eat healthier so I am giving up the spicy foods," this man told us. "It's certainly going to be difficult."
"Coffee for me," said this lady. "I've given up soft drinks before, I've done sweet tea which is one of my favorites but coffee will be the hardest."
"Candy, chocolates," said one woman. "I know this is going to be very hard, but I started early trying to wean myself off of it."
Lent lasts today through Easter Sunday.
