What is Pancake Tuesday?

Pancakes on Pancake Tuesday
Pancake Tuesday, also called
Pancake Day,
Shrove Tuesday,
Fat Tuesday and
Mardi Gras (which is French for "Fat Tuesday"), is the last day of feasting before
Lent begins on
Ash Wednesday. It's called so due to the tradition of eating pancakes on the day. This tradition comes from a time where any remaining rich foods were eaten on the day before Lent to use them up, and fasting begins.
Pancake Tuesday 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.
