Religion

Today is Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is the last day before Lent begins.

Do you know why we eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday?

 Traditionally we use up all the special ingredients in our homes to make pancakes. This is so during Lent we can focus on Jesus who was fasting for the 40 days of Lent.
