The Name: "Shrove" comes from the word "shrive," meaning to confess sins and be absolved. Historically, it was a day for Christians to visit their church for confession before the solemn fasting season of Lent.

The Pancakes: The tradition of eating pancakes arose from the need to use up rich, perishable ingredients—such as eggs, milk, and sugar—that were traditionally forbidden during the 40-day Lenten fast. 

Ash Wednesday marks the official start of Lent, a 40-day season (excluding Sundays) of fasting, prayer, and repentance leading up to Easter.
