THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The bird flu scare is impelling Christians to religiously observe the 50-day Lent, a period of frugality beginning on February 27 leading up to Easter, by becoming pure vegetarians, according to several members of the community.
Christians account for 23 per cent of Kerala’s 32 million population and now even those members of the community who may not observe a 'lean' Lent period are adhering to the strict rules of frugal food.
