As a writer of fine, publisher-rejected literature, I am always researching the German culture in order to fine tune the characters in my “un-marketable” “too-emotionally-complex” novel.
So, in researching Totensonntag (a German day of remembering the dead) I keep coming to a list of holidays that lists GREASY SUNDAY.
My god that sounds fascinating, although no one will say WHAT it is. I asked my German pen pal who said “It’s a Sunday in Spring when wives can cheat on their husbands without regret”. As exciting a holiday as that would be, I suspect he was just flirting 
So, tell me, does anyone know WHAT Greasy Sunday is? Anything to do with Easter?
