They have a hard life because they are poor, but during Lent these people give up very many things. “Adding restrictions without stopping farm work, they say, make them reflect on Christ’s passion.” This article describes how their daily lives change greatly as they give up even their recreations and further restrict the food during their straitened meals, for Lent. But they don’t find it difficult to fast, this report says, because they don’t have much money for food.
