Do you know that ...
"(...) Shrove Tuesday varies from year to year.
It is the day preceding the beginning of Lent, or Ash Wednesday, and is therefore dependant on where Easter falls, which is based on the cycles of the sun and the moon.
4. ‘Shrove’ refers to the religious rite of being shriven – confessing one’s sins – before the start of Lent.
5. As one is supposed to refrain from eating meat, eggs, milk and butter during the 40 days of Lent, making pancakes became a way of using up all those remaining ingredients left in the house."(in http://www.southerngazette.ca/news/local/2017/2/28/shrove-tuesday---happy-pancake-day-.html)
