Pancake Day

Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, is the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent in the Christian calendar. It usually falls in February or early March, depending on the date of Easter. In 2025, Pancake Day is on March 4th. Shrove Tuesday was traditionally a day for using up rich ingredients like eggs, butter, and sugar before the fasting period of Lent. Pancakes became a popular way to do this, leading to the tradition of eating them on this day.
