    Shrove Tuesday is the day before the people begin to make their Easter duty. It is also called Mairgead Mór because on that day all the people go to town and buy fish and jam and things for the fast days.
    Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. During the seven weeks of Lent it is all fasting and prayer. On Ash Wednesday the people all go to the church and get holy ashes on their foreheads in the sign of a cross.
