It is traditional to give alms or give something up to make small sacrifices in order to purify yourself and spiritually prepare yourself for Holy Week and Easter. The only thing that is mandatory during lent is to observe the days of abstinence (not eat meat on Fridays) and the days of fasting and abstinence (Ash Wednesday and Holy Friday).
