For most of the Poles Lent is a special time during which they obey religious rules regarding that period. Fasting on Good Friday is kept by almost three fourth of the Poles. Interviewees very rarely admit that they organise parties during Lent. In general parties are avoided for religious reasons by the majority of respondents. Attachment to contemplative character of this period is still very common in Polish society.

More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: „Sacred and Profane Space in Society”.
