La cazza del toro — Running with bulls — Habiti delle Donne Venetiane — 12

This print depicts the traditional bull hunts or bull runs, which often took place in Venice. They were especially popular for the grand feast on Fat Thursday (Giovedì grasso) during the famous carnival.

Bulls were let loose in the squares, at times with ropes tied to their horns, and people ran in front or behind them, and sometimes dogs were set on the bulls.

Fabro — Blacksmith — Grevembroch 3-45

This painting depicts a blacksmith, in formal dress for a celebration, carrying a large, blunt two-handed sword used for beheading bulls during bull-fights in Venice.

One or more bulls were decapitated during the Fat Thursday feast in the Piazzetta, in front of the Palazzo Ducale, during the carnival in Venice.

The task of beheading the oxen on Fat Thursday were given to the guild of the blacksmiths and the guild of the butchers. The bull's head had to come off with one blow, so the strongest men were chosen for the job.

The killing of the bull was in celebration of the Venetian victory over the Patriarch of Aquileia, which in 1162 had attacked Grado.

OMG! I missed #FatThursday (#TłustyCzwartek) last week. I've failed as a Pole. I hang my head in shame.

After my surgery today I stopped at my favourite Polish bakery for a schnitzel sandwich. And I discovered it's some kind of special doughnut holiday! Paczki Day. Related to Fat Thursday, the last Thursday before lent. They had unusual flavours of ponki. You better believe I had some!

Silver lining to my convalescence 😋

I forgot to take a picture because I ate it so fast. #FatThursday #PaczkiDay

Next year I'll plan in advance and order a whole box!

Remembering the best pączek ever (2017, Gdańsk) today, on Tłusty Czwartek.

Rose hip jam, glazed with candied orange topping. Mmm.
