The islanders were taking part in an annual masked celebration called
Mid-Lent, or “Mi-Carême” in French,
visiting houses, bars and community centers with the goal of not being recognized.
A tradition rooted in medieval France,
it survives today in a handful of French-speaking corners of Canada.
They include a few small islands in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, like L’Isle-aux-Coudres in Quebec, which is accessible from the mainland only by ferry.

Halfway Through Lent, a Small Quebec Island Celebrates With Masks and Jigs
Few islanders still observe Lent, but they cling to a tradition once seen as defying the all-powerful Roman Catholic Church.

Congratulations to YDS Professor Volker Leppin, who is receiving an honorary degree from United Lutheran Seminary on May 23! Hard to imagine a more worthy recipient given his biography of Martin Luther ("Martin Luther: A Late Medieval Life") and his essays on Luther and mysticism, not to mention the fact he is a pastor in the ELCA.
