The expression Shrove Tuesday comes from the word shrive, meaning to confess and receive absolution, a custom to confess sins before Lent. The day was named from the tradition of Christians trying to be 'shriven' before Lent.
The Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. It's a day of penitence, to clean the soul, and a day of celebration as the last chance to feast before Lent. Similar foods are fasnachts and pączkis. This custom of British Christians eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday dates to the 16th century. Thanks for any donations. Blessings!
