Those Italians who are practicing Roman Catholics will eat whatever they've set up as their Lenten fare. This year, in 2010, Roman Catholics observe the beginning of Lent on Wednesday, February 17. According to the Roman Catholic calendar, Lenten observations end on Saturday, April 3.
So March 18 falls on a Thursday, somewhere between half and two-thirds of the way through Lent. It's the feast day of St Cyril of Jerusalem [c. 313-386], who is considered a Doctor of the Church. So there may be special thoughts and devotions in his regard. Also, there may be special preparations for the following day. March 19 honors the memory of St Joseph, the husband of Mary Mother of Jesus of Nazareth [c. 7-4 B.C.E. - c. A.D. 30].
