.Answer by a CatholicAs of summer 2007, approximately 24% of the Americans in the United States were Catholics. For the most part, it is only the Catholic Church who has an official liturgical calendar that includes Lent although some protestants are getting into the act, and others, like the Episcopal Church have always observed Lent. A small minority (less than 1%) are Orthodox and other Christian religions that also observe Lent.
Easter is the end of Lent.
The Episcopal church, as part of the Anglican communion, celebrates Lent.

Yes.
.Catholic AnswerIt is impossible to be Catholic and not practice Christianity as the only complete Christianity there is in the world is the Catholic religion. Everyone else who is claiming the name "Christianity" has rejected some part of the revelation that Our Blessed Lord gave to the Catholic Church, and it has preserved it for all these centuries against every heresy from the first century right through modern protestantism. Of course it is okay to practice Christianity and be a Catholic, you could not possibly do anything else.
It's Catholic. It was to celebrate the day before Lent when all the meat had to be eaten, because you couldn't eat meat during Lent back then. They would have a big party and eat all of their meat
If your birthday is not in Lent, then of course you can. If it is in Lent, you probably should still stay off what you have given up if you are serious about honouring Lent.
