Lent recalls the 40 days Jesus fasted and prayed in the desert in preparation for His ministry. The 40-day season of lent is a time for us to take stock of the way we're living and set aside those things that distract us from having a deeper relationship with God. It is marked by greater prayer, fasting and almsgiving in preparation for the celebration of Easter, and is a journey that follows the path of Jesus through His terrible suffering and death on the cross. These were great acts of love and forgiveness ending with the celebration of His glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday.
I think it's to fatten you up before fasting or Lent.
The fourth Sunday in Lent is called "Laetare Sunday". On this Sunday in Lent priests may wear Rose-colored vestments for the liturgy. The purpose of the Sunday is to encourage the Faithful who have come through four weeks of Lent in fastings and prayers. Laetare Sunday therefore is a festive interlude amid the highly penitential season of Lent.
It is the last night of eating rich foods before the fasting and the religious obligations of Lent
