Happy pancake Tuesday
This year’s Pancake Day is on Tuesday, February 16th- today!
Pancake Day, or Pancake Tuesday to some people, is also known as Shrove Tuesday. This is because it is the one day of the year when almost everyone eats a pancake.
Pancake Day is the last day before the period on the Christian calendar called Lent. It is traditional on this day to eat pancakes. Pancake Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as penitence, because it’s the last day before Lent.
Throughout the world, people indulge themselves on foods that traditionally aren’t allowed during Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.
