Guest King of Games Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 This Tuesday was Shrove Tuesday, or the Passover, when Christians use all the extra butter milk eggs, etc and make pancakes. The tradition was started by Moses when he led the Israelites out of Egypt and God killed the first born sons. It was celebrated by Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper.Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. A day when Christians put ashes on their forehands in the shape of the cross. It symbolizes Something about "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" I don't remember exactly because our priest pronounces it "asses".And today marks the beginning of Lent. It represents the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert. And Christians are to give up something(ex: chocolate) for those forty days until Easter. All in All a busy time at my school, and I'm not even Catholic! So, what would you do without for 40 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
