話說小編之前去英國時有一日朋友邀請去佢屋企話慶祝Pancake Tuesday,我當堂打左個突,心諗乜pancake都有得慶祝嘅咩?Anyway,嗰晚食完飯之後去到佢屋企,我哋喺廚房跟住個網頁咁教去整pancake,攞曬啲麵粉出嚟又篩粉又打漿又剩咁,反轉個廚房咁滯去摷呢樣摷嗰樣終於整好個粉漿可以攞去煎,我望住朋友揸住個煎pan將塊半熟嘅pancake凌空拋起再完美地flip到將未熟嗰一邊撻返落去個煎pan度繼續煎,係勁嘅。不過任佢嘅pancake煎得再起勁,都唔及我嘅好奇心旺盛。當晚我並冇問佢Pancake Tuesday係一樣點樣樣嘅嘢,不過經我查過究竟之後先發覺,原來Pancake Tuesday並唔係一個由洋人悶得滯而發展出嚟嘅一個日子,咁當然喇,喺度開得個post嚟寫Pancake Tuesday就一定有宗教意思啦。
Pancake Tuesday小fun fact: 有冇留意聽日係咩日子呢?冇錯!聽日就係聖灰星期三Ash Wednesday,係四旬期嘅開始。原來Pancake Tuesday原本叫Shrove Tuesday,意思係懺悔星期二,唔同地方都有唔同嘅慶祝方法,例如喺歐美, 民眾會用盡屋企所有嘅麵粉、牛奶、雞蛋嚟整pancake,有啲地方例如南美,佢哋會舉行嘉年華,務求喺四旬期到來之前盡歡一次。雖然呢一種心態可圈可點,不過都希望大家謹記四旬期嘅精神在於反省自己,悔改補贖,同天主修補關係。
今次小小哋介紹住咁多先,下次有機會再同大家講。 #catholic #churchsupplies #christusrex #christthekingsupplies #hongkongcatholic #liturgy #pancaketuesday #shrovetuesday #ashwednesday #lent
