How Much Do You Know About Other Religions/Faiths? (Jesus Christ, Latter-Day Saints)

[GoldenDragon]

I was thinking since this is a religion forum that we should have a quiz/trivia type thing on the subject of religion. Someone asks a question about his/her religion (history,tradition,etc anything related) and someone of a different religion answers it,if that person gets it right then they ask a question. So lets see how much we know about each other's faiths and perhaps be a little educated.
I will go first.

Roman Catholicism: What is the 40 day(give or take) fasting period leading to Easter?

Lent?

I'm pretty sure that's the right answer, but I really don't know much about it, other than that when I was in school, Catholics were always giving up a favorite food for Lent. Why don't you educate me on the subject. Meanwhile, I'll think up a couple of questions on Mormonism that are sure to stump people.

Correct! your turn.
