re: feast days
being a Pagan means you get to celebrate everybody's festivals in a spirit of ecumenicalism without having to go through with the sacrificial parts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But! The pyres! The ritual! The knives!
I do love a good sacrifice.

According to my Canadian Friend and her Catholic mother, it's Shrove Tuesday, and they will celebrate by eating pancakes and bacon.

Growing up we referred to it as either Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday.

Dude, I'm so out of the religion loop that it wasn't until high school that I figured out why we had fish Fridays in the cafeteria.

Punishingly Intricate
We'd often have pancakes for dinner, not just on Shrove Tuesday. My brothers and dad would have them with syrup and my mom and I would have them with peach yogurt and call them crepes. I'd feel very sophisticated!

No, I have NO idea how to pronounce it.
In czech, cvrtek (ch-vrr-tek) was one of my favorite hard-to-say words. Along with the one that meant four. (ch-teerrzhee)
