Product Information

Every magical school needs its principal, and Larissa Weems is the glue holding Nevermore together. Weems has a history with Wednesday’s mom Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), which gives her common ground with Wednesday. “Weems definitely can empathize with Wednesday’s situation, which is having to step out from under the shadow of Morticia: her success and her glamor and her confidence,” Millar says.

As this is the last day of the Christian liturgical season historically known as Shrovetide, before the penitential season of Lent, related popular practices, such as indulging in food that one might give up as their Lenten sacrifice for the upcoming forty days, are associated with Shrove Tuesday celebrations. The term Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday", referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. Many Christian congregations thus observe the day through eating pancakes or, more specifically, the holding of pancake breakfasts, as well as the ringing of church bells to remind people to repent of their sins before the start of Lent. [2] [7] On Shrove Tuesday, churches also burn the palms distributed during the previous year's Palm Sunday liturgies to make the ashes used during the services held on the very next day, Ash Wednesday.
