Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, originated in the Christian tradition as a day of feasting before the fasting period of Lent. Historically, people would use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk, and sugar by making pancakes. The name "Shrove" comes from the old English word "shrive," meaning to confess, as it was a time for spiritual reflection and preparation for Lent. Today, it is celebrated in various cultures with different types of pancakes and festivities.
