Fat Thursday 2024
 |
Fat Thursday goes down on that Thursday prior to Ash Wednesday each February and is positioned before the 40 days of Lent.
This year is will be celebrated on February 8 and is that time to indulge prior to the lean time of Lent.
There are numerous Polish traditions associated with Fat Thursday and most notable of these are the pączki or jelly filled donuts powdered with sugar and consumed with great relish. There are many other taste treats associated with the holiday.
The Christian tradition of Fat Thursday is sometimes associated with the celebration of Carnival.
I hope you can take this last opportunity prior to Lent &mdashp; which is a time of fasting, the days leading up to Ash Wednesday provide the last opportunity for feasting until Easter.
