Mi-carême mask made of cardboard coloured with a red pencil crayon
and blue pen, with hair applied.
Mi-carême is celebrated on Thursday on the third full week of a
forty-day penitence period. It represents the middle of the carême,
i.e. the twentieth day, and sundays are not included in the
penitence carême.
People would dress up and enjoy themselves on this celebration day, to
forget the sacrifices made throughout the carême
period. (French
