Shrove Tuesday
Today is Shrove Tuesday!
Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake Day and Mardi Gras) is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Shrove Tuesday is observed mainly in English speaking countries, especially Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States but is also observed in the Philippines and Germany. Shrove Tuesday is linked to Easter, so its date changes on an annual basis.
In most traditions the day is known for the eating of pancakes before the start of Lent. Pancakes are eaten as they are made out of the main foods available, sugar, fat, flour and eggs, whose consumption was traditionally restricted during the ritual fasting associated with Lent. (via Wikipedia)
The word shrove is form the verb "shrive": absolve somebody of sins: in Christianity, to hear somebody's confession of sins and give the person absolution.
We also know today as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras as well as Carnivale. Traditionally, today was the last day to use up the food fat before the beginning of Lent. As well, in Latin countries, the remaining meat (carne) would be used prior to the abstinence of Lent.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. Are you ready for Lent?
