About Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day
by W.Holidays
Shrove Tuesday is the day
before Ash Wednesday. Different countries have different names
for this day. Popular names include Pancake Day or Pancake
Tuesday Mardi Gras, Tłusty Czwartek, Fasnacht Day, Tuesday of
Carnival. Shrove Tuesday is the last day of shrovetide.
Shrovetide is the same as Carnival.
The word shrove is a past tense of the English verb "shrive".
Shrive means to to grant absolution to a penitent by means of
confession and penance. Anglo-Saxon Christians receive absolution
before Lent.
During Lent rich foods are not eaten; therefore the day before pancake,
donuts and other treats are cooked to use up the ingredients in the
house.
In United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Canada, and in parts of the
United States Shrove Tuesday is known as Pancake Tuesday.
Pancakes are eaten with a sprinkling of sugar, and they are serve with
sryup. Pancake races are held in villages and towns in the United
Kingdom.
