Historically, Pancake Week, or Shrove Tuesday, was the final opportunity for Christians to use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk, and sugar before Lent, a period of fasting and penance. It served as a way to enjoy these foods in a celebratory manner before the more austere season of Lent began. The tradition of making pancakes became a popular way to mark this occasion, symbolizing the end of indulgence before a time of restraint.
