Far from festive (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lenten

(Other definitions for lenten that I've seen before include "Of the Christian penitential season" , "Appropriate to period before Easter" , "Pertaining to time of fast" , "Refers to the period before Easter" , "Referring to a fast time" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
