Jack o' Lent : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jack o' Lent Jack 'o' Lent was a tradition in England in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries involving the abuse and burning of a straw effigy during the season of Lent, ending with its burning on Palm Sunday. The effigy, made of straw or stuffed clothes,〔 was abused and stoned on Ash Wednesday while being dragged about the parish. The figure is kept until Palm Sunday, when it is burnt. Its burning was often believed to be a symbolic revenge on Judas Iscariot, who had betrayed Christ. It is equally likely that the figure represents the hated Winter and its destruction prepares the way for Spring.〔Frood & Graves p.10〕 Jack 'o' Lent is mentioned in Thomas Heywood's ''The Four Prentices of London'',〔Brand p.101〕Shakespeare's ''Merry Wives of Windsor,'' Anthony Burgess' Nothing Like the Sun and Henry Fielding's ''Joseph Andrews''. ==See also==
