In this period it is necessary to get my thoughts in order and to use vegetable food.

It is noted that in the days of the memory of the most revered saints, if they fell in lent, it is also permissible:

- Wednesday and Thursday — hot food without oil, but with wine.
Earlier Today I found out that you can eat during lent.
