Fast time (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

7*

I believe this is a double definition.

'fast' is the first definition.
(Lent is a period of fasting in Christianity)

'time' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Time of fasting ' mean 'lent' so perhaps 'time' could also mean 'lent')

(Other definitions for lent that I've seen before include "Christian penitential season" , "Christian period of abstinence" , "Fast time" , "Forty days of fasting" , "Christian penitential period" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Penny Press.
