To those who celebrate, whether you say #MardiGras or #ShroveTuesday, remember #Lent is coming.

#Food traditions, like #pancake suppers, consume eggs, sugar, and fat that were forbidden during Lent and might otherwise have been wasted.

The Fight Between #Carnival and Lent by Pieter Brueghel the Elder in 1559, courtesy Kunsthistorisches Museum (GG_1016)

A densely packed 16th‑century village carnival scene in a town square, shown from above. Dozens of small, brightly dressed figures crowd the muddy open space between brick houses and a large gray church on the right. People eat, drink, play games, dance, wrestle, and parade in costume. In the lower center, a man in colorful clothes rides two large beer barrels, while nearby others cook over a fire and sell food from stalls. At the bottom right, a figure dressed as a mock king in pale blue robes sits on a small wheeled platform surrounded by revelers. Scattered props—buckets, masks, musical instruments, benches, and carts—dot the square, and background streets and buildings are filled with more people watching or joining the festivities, creating a busy, chaotic festival atmosphere.
