Shrove Tuesday (Mardi Gras!) is a Christian festival celebrated in many countries across the globe. The Tuesday before the beginning of Lent – a period of around six weeks leading up to Easter. During Lent, Christians give up luxuries to remember when Jesus went into the desert for 40 days to fast and pray. Pancake Tuesday we have one last luxurious (Fat Tuesday/ Mardi Gras!) meal before the solemnity of Lent.
