What is Pancake Day?

Pancakes served on Pancake Day
In the Christian tradition, Pancake Day, also called
Pancake Tuesday,
Shrove Tuesday,
Fat Tuesday and
Mardi Gras (which is French for "Fat Tuesday"), is the last day of feasting before
Lent begins on the following day,
Ash Wednesday. It's called so due to the custom of eating pancakes on this day, a tradition that comes from a time when any remaining rich foods were eaten on the day before Lent to use them up, and fasting begins. It's observed mainly in English-speaking countries, especially Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, but also in the Philippines and Germany.
Pancake Day is a movable feast whose date is determined by
Easter, and it's celebrated exactly 47 days before
Easter Sunday. The date can vary from as early as February 3 to as late as March 9.
For detailed information see Wikipedia's entry on
Shrove Tuesday.
