Today, Tuesday 17th February, is Shrove Tuesday. The name Shrove Tuesday comes from the Old English word “shrive,” meaning to confess sins and receive absolution. It’s the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, a time of reflection, sacrifice, and fasting for Christians.

Popularly known as Pancake Tuesday, the tradition of making pancakes originates from a Christian tradition in medieval Europe, specifically linked to the start of Lent, where people would use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk, and butter to make pancakes before the 40-day fasting period, using the day for confession (“shriving”) before the solemnity of Lent began.
