Shrove Tuesday is a Christian festival to mark the start of Lent which commences on Ash Wednesday. Lent is a six week period of fasting, prayer and giving observed by many Christians throughout the world. Traditionally, Shrove Tuesday is associated with pancakes being eaten. This was the last chance to eat rich foods before Lent, and an opportunity to use up all of the luxury ingredients (such as fat, butter and eggs – which pancakes are usually made of) which might go off during Lent. St Nicholas Diocesan Junior School learners loved being enlightened on Shrove Tuesday, were delighted by the pancake races and most definitely enjoyed the delicious pancakes that they were treated to.
