Thought 1 :- why is lent (Pancake day) within the first few weeks of chickens coming into lay? Lent is to use up all the good things to fast before Easter Sunday. If a chicken lays and it's not furtile, it will goto waste, as can't eat it during lent.

Thought 2 :- why do they put mothers day in March? Again half way through lent. So if a mum gets choclates and rich things by kids, do we have to save them to Easter? Was it invented by a man (non mum) so mums had to abstain, and we're they trying to save money for Easter. By saying you have your choclate from Mothers day. I don't need to buy you more for Easter. I know Mothers day is now commercail, in the old days, it was a day off to spend with your mother, rather than gifts.

Your thoughts?

As far as I’m aware Mothering Sunday is part of the Lenten celebrations and is more about returning to church than giving chocolates to your mum
