Fat Tuesday, Pancakes, and those Easter Eggs
I did a little research on Fat Tuesday and came away with some very interesting and cool facts about this aspect of our faith concerning Fat Tuesday, Lent, Easter Eggs, and much more...
Seven Fun Catholic Facts:
1. Why is it called Fat Tuesday (Shrove Tuesday)?
Originally during Lent Christians abstained from eating eggs and fat for 40 days (in addition from abstaining from meat on Ash Wednesday and Friday’s). So leading up to Ash Wednesday Christians would eat all of their stored supplies of eggs & fat so that they wouldn’t spoil as well as to get a last taste before fasting. Hence, ‘Fat Tuesday’. Or in French ‘Mardi Gras’.
2. Why is the time leading up to Lent called ‘Carnival’ in Latin America, southern Europe, and the Spanish and French speaking world?
Despite what you may think of the meaning of ‘Carnival’, it is derived from Latin meaning “taking away of flesh” or “carne levare”. Or as it later became, ‘Carnival’.
3. What about here in the United States? Why don’t we celebrate or call it ‘Carnival’?
In northern Europe, the United Kingdom, the U.S., parts of Canada, and the rest of the English speaking world it is called ‘Shrovetide’. The English term "shrovetide" (from "to shrive", or hear confessions) is sufficiently explained by a sentence in the Anglo-Saxon "Ecclesiastical Institutes" translated from Theodulphus by Abbot Aelfric about 1000 A.D.: "In the week immediately before Lent everyone shall go to his confessor and confess his deeds and the confessor shall so shrive him as he then my hear by his deeds what he is to do [in the way of penance]".
4. Want to know how or why pancakes were invented?
The English custom of eating pancakes was undoubtedly suggested by the need of using up the eggs and fat which were, originally at least, prohibited articles of diet during the forty days of Lent.
5. This brings us to Easter Eggs…
The same prohibition (from eggs) is, of course, mainly responsible for the association of eggs with the Easter festival at the other end of Lent. Hence those Easter eggs we like to color and have Easter egg hunts with.
6. Is it really forty days, I counted more than 40 days on the liturgical calendar?
Yes. For Catholics it is exactly forty days starting on Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday after you eliminate all the Sundays. Remember, Sunday is a day of rest from work as well as from fasting, but many Christians still like to keep fasting on Sunday.
7. And finally, the final fun fact of the day…
…40 days represents a tithe of the year - rounding up, it is a little more than 10% of 365 (or 366!) days for the year. In a special way, we are offering a tithe of our year during this season.
