Cultures and Memories WHAT IS EASTER? The shops are plenteous with chocolate Easter eggs, the Easter bunny has reappeared and children all over wait, in anticipation for the Easter egg hunt in the build up to Easter Day. This year, Easter will be celebrated on Sunday 27 March 2016.

The Easter festivities of recent years may have overshadowed the tradition of Easter but Christians near and afar still observe the tradition and what it means.

Shrove Tuesday marks the beginning of the lead up to Easter, which is followed by several other milestones, which conclude on Easter Sunday.

Shrove Tuesday, also referred to as Pancake Day, is the penultimate Tuesday preceding Ash Wednesday and is the final day before commencing Lent.

Shrove Tuesday The expression Shrove Tuesday derived from the word Shrive, which means absolve.

Many Christian denominations observe Shrove Tuesday. It is a time for self-examination, which may include repentance and prayer for spiritual development.

Pancake Day Traditionally, were eaten

Pancake’s on Shrove

Tuesday because they contained fat, butter and eggs.

Ingredients, which were forbidden during Lent.

Research dictates, Pancake Day was originally a pagan festival, celebrated by ‘Slav’s’.

Slav’s believed the change of seasons were a conflict between Jarilo, (the god of vegetation, fertility and Springtime) and the evil spirits of cold and darkness.

The Slav’s are said to believe their help was requested to assist Jarilo against winter and help bring in the Spring.

The celebration of Spring’s arrival was known as Maslenitsa.

The most significant part of Maslenitsa was the preparation and consumption of pancakes.

The temperature and circular shape of the pancakes symbolised the Sun and Slav’s believed the consumption of pancakes would nourish them with the light, power and warmth of the Sun. The first pancake of Maslenitsa was placed upon a window seal for the spirits of the ancestors and on the last day, pancakes would be burned in a bonfire as a sacrifice to the Slav’s Pagen gods.

Lent Lent commences the day after Shrove Ash Wednesday and lasts approximately 6 weeks.

This year Lent began on Wednesday 10 February 2016and concludes, Thursday

24 March 2016. During Lent believers pray, repent of sins and encourage self-denial.

Lents announces the commencement of holy week, which marks the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which recalls the tradition and events of the New Testament: Beginning on Friday of sorrows and climaxes on Good Friday.

Palm Sunday Christians observe the penultimate Sunday before Easter, as Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

Palm Sunday usually consists of a procession where members of a congregation carry palms to represent the palm branches scattered in front of Jesus by the crowd as he rode into Jerusalem.

Palm branches were substituted by native, Box, Olive, Willow and Yew tree branches, due to the difficulty of procuring Palm leaves in unfavourable climates. Where substitute branches were utilised, the Sunday would often be renamed after that branch or by the general term, Branch Sunday.

Maundy Thursday Maundy Thursday is the penultimate Thursday preceded by Holy Wednesday, preceding Easter Sunday and 6

immediately followed by Good Friday.

It is also referred to as Holy Thursday, Covenant Thursday, Great Thursday, Sheer Thursday and Thursday of mysteries.

Maundy Thursday commemorates the Maundy and last supper of Jesus Christ with the apostles and is the fifth day of holy week.

Good Friday Good Friday also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Black Friday or Easter Friday, is observed on the Friday immediately before

In recent times, graffiti has become respected as an art form. So much so, some local authorities and community groups have advocated its use in some areas.

Graffiti has existed since antiquity with its roots associated to Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.

Although, ‘Graffiti’ then; was probably due to initiative and a lack of an alternative communicative resource.

The increase in vacant shops has been a sign of the economic decline in some areas and ‘street art’ has been endorsed to improve its appearance.

Street Art Or Street Mess?

The rise in ‘street art’ has been met with mixed reviews. Whilst it has been deemed “an unsightly mess” by some, others welcome the approach to improve the visual perception of otherwise vacant shops hoarded in cardboard.

Undoubtedly, some of the art is impressive and a credit to the London Borough of Croydon’s Arts and cultural movement. If you haven't been fortunate to view some of the amazing talent displayed across the borough, have a look at our gallery on page 9 of ClariceIna CIC’s Spring Edition 2016 and decide for yourself.

is with a heavy heart; INAANIAH Limited announces the sad passing of its head photographer, W.O.C.; whom fell asleep on 25 January 2016.

To capture the perfect image not only first time but every time is a superlative skill to possess and is something W.O.C effortlessly achieved every time. The relationship W.O.C had with his came was one truly to be admired.

It was a relationship that surpassed second nature and entered into the realm of fusion; where camera operative and camera were one. The connection was remarkable the results impeccable!

need for postproduction which can adversely distort an image, often compromising the integrity of the image and undermines the skill and technique of the professional photographer.
