15. March: Marching to battle
2 Samuel 11:1 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem. [kjv]
και εγενετο επιστρεψαντος του ενιαυτου εις τον καιρον της εξοδιας των βασιλεων και απεστειλεν δαυιδ τον ιωαβ και τους παιδας αυτου μετ αυτου και τον παντα ισραηλ και διεφθειραν τους υιους αμμων και διεκαθισαν επι ραββαθ και δαυιδ εκαθισεν εν ιερουσαλημ [lxx]
March is the first month of the year in the old Roman calendar. The French word
"Mardi" ≈ "Tuesday" from the Latin
"dies Martis" ≈ "day of Mars" where Mars is the God of War and the basis for the month name of "
March" - the time when ancient folk would go to war.
After this verse, David takes an interest in Bathsheba.

16. Lent, Ash Wednesday, Fastnacht Day, Mardi Gras

17. Counting back forty days
Counting back
40 days from
Easter Sunday, not including Sunday, is a Wednesday,
Ash Wednesday.
Imagine jokes raining down for
40 days and
40 nights! How about reining in jokes?
Counting back
40 days requires "
fortitude", at least "
for" some (egg-citing)
days.
To
sum it up, Many children these days have
sum trouble with
multiplication.
There is a
difference of opinion, but
times are tough. And their troubles are
multiplying. Does that
add up? What does the
remainder say about what is
left over?

19. Shrove Tuesday
20. Fastnacht tradition
The Pennsylvania Dutch term for a "
doughnut" is a "
Fastnacht", from the German word for "
fast" and "

From Wikipedia:
The last person up on Shrove Tuesday was called the "Fastnacht" and kidded all day long for being late for this wonderful breakfast. In the same way, the last person up on Ash Wednesday was also teased, and called the "Ashepuddle", whose chore for the day was to carry the ashes in the stoves and ovens outside to the ash pile.
