You could also be allowed to eat meat and whatever you gave up on religous holidays such as St. Patrick's Day and the feast of St. Joseph. I believe these rules are still in existence today.

Are there any readers out there who know the answer? Hi Nat:

I loved the yellow marshmellow chicks and always had some stashed away for Sunday. This blog really brought back memories.

Growing up we did not observe Lent in our faith, but now as an adult attending a Methodist church I see how this can be a great time of reflection in my spiritual life. I also look forward to your recipe for Easter bread. I remember my cousin, Frannie, always made a sweet bread that had colored hard boiled eggs in it in the shape of an Easter basket that she brought to every Easter dinner. I wonder if yours is similar. That was a nice post, Mary.
