Its Fig Sunday and time to make a Fig Pudding! Traditional food served on Palm Sunday include Fig Pudding, because Jesus ate figs when he entered Jerusalem.
The rich and the poor across the world eat figs as we mark the beginning of Holy Week. Markets are filled with figs on the eve of Palm Sunday, because traditionally Fig Pudding is made to mark the feast. Children would buy figs, bring them to their mums to make a Figgy Pudding.
