DESCRIPTION:

Pancake Day (also called Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday) is the last great gasp of gluttony prior to the beginning of the 40-day period of Lent in the Christian calendar.

The custom during Lent is to give up something you enjoy and fast from that enjoyment to mark the 40 days leading up to Easter.

In Australia, Canada, South Africa and the United Kingdom, this day before Ash Wednesday is often celebrated by eating pancakes with lots of syrup and butter. Thus the name Pancake Day.
