The "sacrifice" as you call it, I don't think has much to do with the form
of the observance. Because of my age I don't have to observe this practice.
I choose to do so as a reminder of the "reason" behind the observance. The
40 days of Lent. it is a reminder of the 40 days and a preparation for the
Easter observance/time.
