It was a Fastnacht Morning
People queued up for the first taste of fastnachts this morning. Emmaus Bakery opened at 5 a.m. for customers and will be open until 6 p.m.
A fastnacht is a doughnut made from potatoes. Traditionally, fastnachts were made as a way to empty the cupboard of lard, sugar and butter before Lent, when Christian families give up sweets and fats.
For some, Fastnacht Day, or Fat Tuesday, is the last day to indulge in tasty pastry.
