In European countries like England Shrove Tuesday has major importance. Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day because it has been a tradition that has been followed to eat rich foodslike pancakes. Before engaging in Lenten practises, they prepare themselves by conducting such festivities. On this special day, they serve foods which contain sugar, eggs, butter all of which are ingredients discouraged during a time of fasting such as Lent.

Hope this helps.

Why is pancake day called that?

Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake Tuesday, Pancake Day, Mardi Gras, and Fat Tuesday) is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.Shrove Tuesday is linked to Easter, so its date changes on an annual basis as does the calendar date of Easter.The word shrove is the past tense of the English verb shrive, which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by way of Confession and doing penance. Thus Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the custom for Christians to be "shriven" before the start of Lent.In the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, Shrove Tuesday is commonly known as "Pancake Day" or "Pancake Tuesday" due to the tradition of eating pancakes on the day. Pancakes became the food of choice so that rich ingredients such as eggs, milk, and sugar could be used up before the start of the lenten fast (Lent) and fasting begins.Fasting is the practice of abstaining from eating food for the purpose of prayer, and seeking the will of God.
