Get the ingredients ready, for tomorrow is #WaffleDay in Sweden. That it happens also to be the Feast of the #Annunciation is no coincidence; Swedes have difficulty hearing the difference between "våffel" (waffle) and "vårfru" (our lady). So they stuff themselves full of waffles (and at the end of #Lent, too!) in remembrance of Mary's accomplishment of putting the best spin ever on bad news.
I heard that #Ramadan and #Lent are both happening at the same time this year. Add to that the #BahaiFast, and you have three different religious fasts happening together 👀
“If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.” ― St. Francis Of Assisi
After more than 50 years we’re back on the moon, KFC has unveiled their latest culinary monstrosity, in South America the Friday Lent menu has been updated to include new animals, it will soon be illegal for Florida kids to go on TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram, Marjorie Taylor Greene took to X to talk about women being good Christian role models,
This year for Lent I'm going to try to vastly reduce my sugar consumption. I'm not daft enough to think I can give up free sugars altogether, they're in far too many things, plus I'll rebel. But I want to get my consumption down to under the WHO recommended level.
Thoughts and prayers very much appreciated on this one, because this is gonna be hard.
Today is the #Epiphany, the end of the #TwelveDaysOfChristmas.¹
In #Ireland, though, this day is also known as Nollaig na mBan, a.k.a. Little Christmas.²
It is hard to find a root of this tradition, but it is a feast dedicate to #women: they take a break from all the work of the past days, and they can celebrate as they wish. 🎉
Beware of other traditions, though, as removing all the Christmas tree decorations before the end of the day, or there will be bad luck! 🚫🍀
But don't forget to keep the #Christmas holly! It is good to use it for the fire to cook pancake on Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras³, the day before #Lent!
