I hope she doesn't mind my repeating this, the thread was at 79 so I put I hate odd numbers, then Peri said,"Obviously not a Catholic Bobbi, I was brought up on that"
Very interesting, so is this something to do with The Last Supper?
I have never heard of it !

Basically and quickly - On Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) it was traditional to use up all of the frivolous (?) items in your food larder. For the next 40 days (Lent), the family ate plainly, and would usually 'give something up'. This fasting period (also seen in non-Christian countries) was a time for concentrating on God and your relationship with him. (Also, tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, sees some Christians receive a cross marked in ash on their foreheads).
At the conclusion of this period of Lent, we remember the Last Supper, Good Friday and Easter Sunday; the holiest time of the Christian calender.
