 As throw of Tuesday comes to an end, those who will partake in the traditional fasting season of Lent will be preparing to go off their favourite foods and stop any bad habits. Over 1,000 pancakes were given out to DCU students today. Pancake Tuesday has arrived in DCU and students have been receiving free pancakes all day at their Glass Neve campus at their Interfaith Centre. We ask students if they plan to participate in the fasting tradition this year and if so, what they'll be going off. I'm not sure yet this year, maybe chocolate, we'll see how we're doing, see how the exams go tomorrow, see how we're feeling, yeah. I know, I don't think I'm going to go off anything for Lent, I'll think about it for a second. Oh, okay, I plan to give up bread for Lent because I really like pastries and I'm trying to be more healthy in that sense, yeah, so bread. Yes, I plan to do the Lent for 40 days, so because I am a face, in face, and I think that can be good for me to become again on the base, to after appreciate a lot to have some good things. So I think that I'm going to produce one chocolate every morning, but I hope that I will succeed it. Okay, and for me it will be something similar, I'm Catholic so I'm going to do the chocolate maybe every morning, like Maxence. I just try to stop smoking for being more healthy, close to the God. I'm doing Lent, I mean I'm a chaplain so it's kind of one reason to do it, but I think it's an absolutely beautiful thing because one of the greatest, most revolutionary things you can do is take back control and abstain from something fast. It's absolutely counter-cultural, absolutely powerful, absolutely beautiful, it's good for your body, it's good for your mental well-being, it's good for your soul. I'm giving up alcohol and maybe a little something else for 40 days. Keishi Galaher reporting from DCU.
