It’s one of my favourite days again - pancake day!
Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the final day before Lent, a Christian festival starting on Ash Wednesday and ending on Easter Sunday.
During Lent, Christians traditionally give things up, so Shrove Tuesday became the last chance to indulge and to use up the foods that aren't allowed, such as fat, butter and eggs.
The name Shrove comes from the old word "shrive" which means to confess. On Shrove Tuesday, in the Middle Ages, people used to confess their sins so that they were forgiven before the season of Lent began. (copyright of projectbritain.com)

We can’t be held responsible for any accidents caused by careless pancake tossing though, so please be careful.
