"Fat Thursday (German Fetter Donnerstag, Schmotziger Donnerstag, or in areas where carnival is celebrated Weiberfastnacht; Greek: \u03A4\u03C3\u03B9\u03BA\u03BD\u03BF\u03C0\u03AD\u03BC\u03C0\u03C4\u03B7 (Tsiknopempti); Polish: T\u0142usty czwartek; Hungarian: torkos cs\u00FCt\u00F6rt\u00F6k) is a traditional Catholic Christian feast marking the last Thursday before Lent and is associated with the celebration of Carnival. Because Lent is a time of fasting, the next opportunity to feast would not be until Easter."@en . . .
