HALL MONDAY
BLACK MONDAY
Black Monday or Shrove Monday evening
Was a time for boys to
commit petty crime
Now we don’t have it
on one special night
Instead now it appears
to happen all the time
COLLOPY MONDAY
The third day of Shrovetide,
Once known as Collopy
Monday,
Was named after
Collops of bacon
A traditional dish of
the day
Which was served with
eggs.
It’s the forgotten
Shrove Monday
THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS

The Presentation of
Christ
In The Temple,
THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT BRIGIT
The feast day of Saint Brigit

THE FEAST OF EPIPHANY
Epiphany is a Christian festival in honour of
The coming of the Three Kings to the infant Lord,
The first manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles
That celebrates the revelation of God in his Son
Known as the Day of the Lights or Three King’s Day
EPIPHANY IS DESCRIBED IN THE LEXICON
Epiphany is described in the lexicon
Simply as a divine
manifestation
But when she disrobed
before me
It was a Magnificent
Divest-ion
