La Cuaresmera 2020

Lent, -a forty-day period of fasting and abstinence from meat, which precedes Easter and begins on Ash Wednesday- is already documented in 13th-century French literature and in 14th-century Castile by the Archpriest of Hita in The Book of Good Love.

The Lenten figure was also displayed in the windows of shops and grocery stores to announce the sale of salted cod, a protagonist during the Lenten vigil period, as it was the only one that reached Castile -preserved in salt- and showed great variety in its preparation.
