Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits!
Good morning P6/7!
Today is “Fat Tuesday”, or Mardi Gras as they say in French. The festival can last for many days, in some countries this period is also has a carnival. One famous carnival takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Another one occurs in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Mardi Gras comes from the fact that a festival takes place on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. It also refers to the old custom of consuming all the fats in the home before Lent. This is a period of 40 days that ends with Easter. During Lent, Christians often deny themselves certain foods as a way to remember the sacrifice they believe Christ made for them. People sometimes used up their eggs and butter by making pancakes. Many people today still observe Shrove Tuesday by eating pancakes. Some towns even hold pancake races, in which people flip pancakes in a frying pan as they run.
