What is Shrove Tuesday?

Shrove Tuesday or commonly known as Pancake day is a Tuesday in February or March which comes before Ash Wednesday – this marks the 40 days of lent leading up to Easter. Traditionally in the Christian religion this represents the time Jesus spent fasting in the desert. Hearty, fatty foods such as butter, eggs and fats would be used up.
