Pancake Day – also known as Shrove Tuesday – is a traditional Christian celebration which takes place in many countries. It's not new – it dates back to the 16th century!
Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period where people reflect on the period of time Jesus fasted in the desert, often by not having a specific treat. The custom of eating pancakes on this day started as a way to use up rich ingredients such as eggs, sugar, and butter, which were traditionally avoided during this time.
Today, Pancake Day is celebrated in different ways all around the globe, with many people enjoying sweet or savoury pancakes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
