Lent, a time to eat low-fat and fasting.
This story is a summary of a conversation with people a little on in years.
What you notice is that it begins and ends with food. Hard times!
We said: came Lent! We finished eating well and you could not even taste the egg. If you were really bad and were going to die, maybe, maybe, and yet she must be the doctor to say, by "something good", otherwise not tasted any that thing for all of Lent.
Lent began last Sunday of Carnival, Monday after the Sunday. But they said that included during the carnival on Monday and Tuesday for even the lame or for someone who was far away, otherwise Lent begins on the Sunday after Carnival and Easter is always up to Lent. Seven weeks, seven weeks its hard Lent. Those two days, let us say to those who came "with the last train" because it could make the carnival with their families, because then you said with your carnival and Easter with whoever you are. Now say to your Christmas and Easter with whoever you are.
Wednesday after the Tuesday of carnival were the ashes. The ashes represent just the beginning of Lent. If you went in church that day, the priest will put a pinch of ashes on his head, but even now fannola same thing. We put the ashes and I said, dust you are and will become dust. And the ashes, they say, I've never seen, that the priests burn a little 'palm trees last year and then collect the ashes used on Ash Wednesday.
The Sunday before Easter are the Palme.
Palm Sunday were the "cazzeddhi" with confetti and candy and the boys who had his girlfriend were the "crocemarta" who were always palms clasped, but with a sacred figure in the middle. The latter was, however, much work and those who were not able to do it paid because they did it to him to be able to bring all'innamorata to hang the bed.
girlfriend, then, when Easter came, gave her boyfriend the "Cuddhura. Many times it had a heart shape and the hard-boiled egg in the middle.
The day of the palms in every country singing passion. They would go to farms, roads and workshops: one played and sang two.
Holy Week from Palm Sunday to Easter was.: Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday, Holy Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Easter!
during Lent was always two weeks to make the missionaries preaching to convert people. Monday Holy, Holy Tuesday, Holy Wednesday were still in these sermons, were the Tomb on Holy Thursday and the preaching of Christ's passion.
Good Friday did not sound or bells or anything, in the morning were "putting Scerrati" not consecrated priests, did nothing and ended when we left to say put all messy and went away.
They made the procession with Our Lady of Sorrows and Christ died in the coffin, were turning all the chapels, and once past the procession "rose" the tomb: they removed the crucifix that lay dead on the floor and undid the tomb.
Then Christ did rise on the morning of Holy Saturday. All
went to church. This was the feast of frogs, the "cuddhure" and children: all the mothers went to church together with all sons. Holy Thursday
bread ovens baking the "cuddhure" their sons were the "bell" with the egg inside and daughters a "pupa" or "artichoke" always inside the egg. Do not eat them, but left for the Holy Saturday Mass: most people in the church carried the tree frog and the "cuddhura, but for how small you could not bite it before it was glory. Once the resurrection took place, the little ones Scapricciando to turn the tree frogs and eating the "cuddhure. Moving on Easter Monday Easter arrives
was then called "Casarin gave" (Monday, clean from sin), but the whole week after Easter was "cheesemakers" Monda Monday, Tuesday, world, etc. .. until Sunday.
All that was lost, that he had not eaten during Lent we ate in the "cheese-makers' week. We ate some eggs, a little cheese, macaroni were made more often, you could eat meat if you had money.
during Lent were imposed the sentence you to go to jail if you eat meat.
