Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) HistoryShrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day and Mardi Gras, is a day for feasting in preparation for the sacrifice and fasting period of Lent, which begins the following day with Ash Wednesday. Celebrations continue into the night of Shrove Tuesday as people engage in eating rich and fatty foods that they must finish by midnight. Carnivals are common during the Pre-Lenten Season, known as Shrovetide. Street parties, carnivals, and parades are also common. Aside from merriment, Shrovetide also serves the purpose of analyzing one’s own self and finding wrongdoings that need to be repentant over Lent. It is also about finding one's areas of spiritual growth that need God’s blessing. Shrove Tuesday is observed by Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, and Methodists. Shrove Tuesday is not to be confused with National Pancake Day, a non-religious holiday held in the fall to celebrate the dish. The consumption of pancakes is a common means of celebrating and using up fat, eggs, and dairy before the fasting season begins. This holiday is celebrated 41 days before Easter every year.
