The Greek seaside town of Galaxidi has exploded into a messy “flour war” as many of its 1,700 residents and many visitors pelted each other with bags of dyed flour.

For many Christians, this week brings Ash Wednesday, a solemn day of fasting and reflection.

Fasting across religions is practiced for a wide range of reasons that include spiritual purification and self-discipline.

It’s hard to believe that spring is right around the corner and Lent is here.

Chick-fil-A announced its restaurants will add a fish sandwich made of cod back to the menu through Saturday, April 11. This addition comes back just in time for those participating in Lent, a tradition the restaurant started in 2016. Fish will be available in a traditional sandwich with two portions of fish or as a deluxe sandwich with tomato, lettuce and American cheese. Customers can also order a boxed two- and three-count fish entrée meal that is served with waffle fries. Fish will only be available at select locations, so check with local restaurants before arriving.
