~ Tuesday -- the Tuesday immediately preceding Ash
Wednesday. It is popularly known as Pancake Day, pancakes being the traditional dish of
the day. S.T. is one of the three days of ~-tide, the other two days being ~ Sunday
and ~ Monday, which come before it. [D]
~ Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday (the initial
day of Lent), is in many places a day of carnival, though its name derives from
the custom of going to confession for absolution and penance before lent (from
the Middle English word shriven,
"to shrive"). A famous carnival is that of Mardi Gras (French: "Fat Tuesday") in New
Orleans.
Carnival Day -- in modern times this would refer to a
day of riotous celebration and revelry. Originally "carnival"
referred specifically to Ash Wednesday, when "flesh (meat) is put
away" for the Lenten period. "Carnival" came to be associated
with the festivities at ~-tide, which precede Lent, and later
with any public celebration of a similar nature.
Carnival Thursday -- an early term for the Thursday
which preceded ~ Tuesday. Pre-Lenten celebrations
began of this day and ended on Shrove Tuesday night. Also known as Mad Thursday.
Egg Saturday -- the Saturday before Shrove Tuesday.
Also known as Egg Feast. The
following day was also known as Egg Sunday. [?]
Fat Tuesday -- a translation of French Mardi Gras, or ~ Tuesday. The previous day is also occasionally
referred to as Fat Monday.
[?]
Good Friday -- the Friday before
Easter Day. "Good" in this context means "observed as holy by
the Church". In former times Christmas and ~-tide were also described as good-tides. Good Friday
is particularly holy because it is considered to be the anniversary of the
death of Christ.
Mad Thursday -- otherwise called Carnival Thursday. It was the day when riotous
celebrations began, ending several days later on the night of ~ Tuesday, a final fling before the Lenten period.
Mardi Gras -- another name for ~ Tuesday, used especially in Louisiana.
Pancake Day -- a popular name for ~ Tuesday. The custom of eating pancakes on this day
dates from at least the 16th cent. The bell that was rung at about eleven in
the morning, calling people to confession, was also the signal for work to stop
and festivities to begin. In many areas the bell was known as the Pancake Bell.
Quinquagesima Sunday -- the Sunday before Lent, also
known as ~ Sunday. The name derives from the Latin word for the
"fiftieth" and refers to the fifty days between this and Easter Day.
