SHROVE Tuesday, AKA pancake today is finally here - but what's the

true meaning behind it?

Here we investigate just what Shrove means, and the tasty Tuesday's

religious history  - plus we share some other facts about the day

more commonly known as Pancake Day

.

what is left in your cupboard before LentCredit: Getty - Contributor

WHAT DOES SHROVE MEAN?

Historically, shriving was a ritual that Christians would go through

to confess their sins before receiving absolution for their

wrong-doings.

Being absolved of sins would free the person from the guilt and pain

that their sins had been causing them.

According to This Is Church:

"In

the Catholic or Orthodox context, the absolution is pronounced by a

priest.

"This tradition is very old. Over 1000 years ago a monk wrote in the

Anglo-Saxon Ecclesiastical Institutes.

"In the week immediately before Lent everyone shall go to his

confessor and confess his deeds and the confessor shall so shrive

him."

Years later, the idea of Shrove Tuesday

evolved as a way for Christians to use up food before fasting for lent

.

Traditionally, many different types of food would be given up

including meat, fish, eggs and dairy-based foods.

Christians would ensure all foods were cooked and consumed so they

wouldn't be wasted during the 40 day period of fasting.

But within the process of shriving, flour was added in to the mix -

and pancakes were born.

HERE'S NINE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT PANCAKE DAY

The most flips anyone has ever done with a single pancake is 349 in

two minutes

In France, people make a wish before flipping their pancakes, and do

so while holding a coin in the other hand

On average, Brits eat two pancakes each on Shrove Tuesday... but we

all know someone who eats at least THREE times more

The Guinness World Record for the most pancakes served in eight hours

is 34,818

The highest pancake toss was 329cm high

On Pancake Day in Lithuania they consume pancakes and donuts

In Finland they eat green pea soup and pastry. In Iceland they eat

salted meat and peas

Pancake Day races are common across Britain in towns and villages. The

race is followed by a church service

Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day is a moveable feast it can fall

anywhere between February 3 to March 9

HOW IS SHROVE TUESDAY'S DATE DECIDED AND WHY DO WE EAT PANCAKES?

Shrove Tuesday falls on the day before Ash Wednesday, which is always

47 days before Easter Sunday.

In 2020, this date falls on Tuesday, February 25.

The date varies each year, but Shrove Tuesday always takes place

between February 3 and March 9.

With Lent just one day away, Shrove Tuesday provides the perfect

opportunity to banish any last minute indulgences – and a chance to

use up any fatty foods

.

That's why in the US, Shrove Tuesday is known as Mardi Gras  - which

is French for Fat Tuesday
