The 2025 Cuaresmera

The 2025 image has been created by the artist from Salamanca, Chema Alonso.

The calendar was hung in shops and homes to count the passing of the seven weeks of Lent, a period of fasting and abstinence from meat that precedes Holy Week.

The figure of the old woman with seven legs and the foods typical of the religious vigil period, vegetables and fish, was usually produced in cardboard or wood.

It was placed in the windows of grocery stores to advertise the sale of salted cod.
