Friday has always been a day of pennance in many traditional Christian faiths. And Sunday, in many cultures, is supposed to be about worship and introspection, rather than a holiday or a day off. But what about Saturday, Monday, and (of course) Fat Tuesday? It would appear that no one has told the folks in New Orleans that their last day to party was the preceeding Thursday. I seem to recall reading that in some of the Orthodox churches Lent not only begins at a slightly different time of year (some times at least...due to their use of the Julian calendar and the concept of "liturgical" equinox) but also on a different day of the week (i.e. not Wednesday). Could this be tied into that? Just call me a calendar geek. <a href="/wiki/User:PurpleChez" title="User:PurpleChez">PurpleChez</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:PurpleChez" title="User talk:PurpleChez">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fat_Thursday#c-PurpleChez-2008-01-31T17:22:00.000Z-Clarify_meaning,_please!" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-PurpleChez-2008-01-31T17:22:00.000Z-Clarify_meaning,_please!"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-01-31T17:22:00.000Z","author":"PurpleChez","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-PurpleChez-2008-01-31T17:22:00.000Z-Clarify_meaning,_please!","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-PurpleChez-2008-01-31T17:22:00.000Z-Clarify_meaning,_please!"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Richardson_mcphillips-2019-02-22T21:35:00.000Z-Clarify_meaning,_please!"></span>I agree - 11 years later!

after Ash Wednesday? If it is during the preceeding week, then what do the observant eat from that Thursday on through Ash Wednesday (is the fast actually longer than the 40 days of Lent)? If Fat Thursday is the day after Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of the Lenten Fast, does that mean that the observant can break their fast, briefly, the day after Ash Wednesday? I grew up in thePolish neighborhood, Hamtramck, and I've never heard of Fat Thursday. We always ate paczki on Paczki Day, which is the same day as Fat Tuesday. I think the author made a mistake.

This experience has taught me a valuable lesson about patience and discernment. I apologize. You have all been very patient and understanding. Thank you.

the last day before lent, when you are allowed to eat everything. However, lent starts with Ash-Wednesday, so the last day to eat is the Tuesday before. German Wikipedia explains the name of Fat Thursday in that way: This Thursday was in catholic regions the last occasion to slaughter animals before lent, since friday, saturday and sunday were days on which it was forbidden by religion to slaughter. Slaughtering animals on monday and tuesday was okay, but with the upcoming lent on wednesday it was unpractical to slaughter because the meat couldn't be eaten till wednesday. So Fat Thursday means, that you have "fat" and meat to eat from this day until lent starts. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/87.139.29.35" title="Special:Contributions/87.139.29.35">87.139.29.35</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:87.139.29.35&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:87.139.29.35 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fat_Thursday#c-87.139.29.35-2012-02-15T11:26:00.000Z-Little_clarification_about_Fat_Thursday" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:26, 15 February 2012 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-87.139.29.35-2012-02-15T11:26:00.000Z-Little_clarification_about_Fat_Thursday"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-02-15T11:26:00.000Z","author":"87.139.29.35","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-87.139.29.35-2012-02-15T11:26:00.000Z-Little_clarification_about_Fat_Thursday","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-87.139.29.35-2012-02-15T11:26:00.000Z-Little_clarification_about_Fat_Thursday"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-Mikolajch-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-Mikolajch-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Fat Tuesday vs. Shrove Thursday&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;Fat Tuesday vs. Shrove Thursday&quot;}--><h2 id="Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday" data-mw-thread-id="h-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z"></span>Fat Tuesday vs. Shrove Thursday<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Fat_Thursday&amp;action=edit&amp;section=9" title="Edit section: Fat Tuesday vs. Shrove Thursday"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Mikolajch-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z","replies":["c-Mikolajch-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-Mikolajch-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday","timestamp":"2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__1__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-Mikolajch-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-Mikolajch-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Fat Tuesday vs. Shrove Thursday&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;Fat Tuesday vs. Shrove Thursday&quot;}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mikolajch-2013-02-06T17:59:00.000Z-Fat_Tuesday_vs._Shrove_Thursday"></span>Some people mistranslate from polish Fat Tuesday as Shrove Tuesday. Fat Tuesday is a correct translation. The word shrove is the past tense of the English verb shrive, which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by way of Confession and doing penance and this word is not applicable for Fat Tuesday celebrations. In many polish sources 'tłusty czwartek' is translated as Fat Tuesday: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free"
