Celebrations of Spring – Faith, Festivals & Flavours

Karen, if I could come to you, please, as a Catholic and this time of year being centered around Easter, as I've just mentioned, what has your experience of this time of year been like either sort of growing up or now? Has it changed much, you know, both religiously and from that commercialization perspective as well?

3:01Karen RodriguezGUEST
It's quite interesting because a lot of people think that Easter actually starts on Shrove Tuesday, otherwise known as Pancake Day or Jif Lemon Day, depending on your preferences, really.
K
3:11Karen RodriguezGUEST
There are other lemon juice manufacturers out there, just so that you know.
K
3:15Karen RodriguezGUEST
Well, actually, the first day of Lent, which is the build up to Easter, is actually on Ash Wednesday.
K
3:21Karen RodriguezGUEST
And that's a holy day of obligation for Catholics where you go and you receive the ashes on your forehead.
K
3:27Karen RodriguezGUEST
And they are normally the palms from Palm Sunday from the previous year that are burnt and they become the ashes normally.

So it's really great to hear that that's happening more and more and people are more comfortable to have those conversations.
