Lent began for Christians around the world on Ash Wednesday, February 17, beginning a season of reflection and preparation before Easter Sunday, celebrated on April 4. And in some Catholic traditions, believers abstain from eating meat on Fridays instead of fish.
Taking advantage of the season, a bunch of fast food chains once again serve fish sandwiches to feed the faithful.
