#Lenten Stuff - a #16thCentury #ballad by William Elderton.
From MS Ashmole 48.

A good description of #Lent in Tudor England, with complaints (among other things) about an excess of #fish, #leeks and #nettles. It also mentions the traditional figure of #JackaLent, a stuffed effigy, usually made of straw, which was dragged through the streets during Lent, and burned on #PalmSunday.

Shrovetyde
An #anonymous #English #17thCentury #engraving from a #broadsideballad showing an #allegory of #Shrovetide.
Thomason Tracts, 1661

Shrovetide is depicted riding on an #ox and armed with a spit full of roasted meats, a #gridiron on his back, wrapped in #sausages and ready to go into battle with #Lent.

A #miniature, probably taken from a #bookofhours, showing the Feast of #Candlemas (2 February), with villagers taking candles to the #church to be blessed.
