09.01.2022 When Is Shrove Tuesday Celebrated In Australia? This year, Shrove Tuesday will be celebrated on Tuesday 16th February. Also known as Pancake Day, it is always c...elebrated on the last day before Lent. Shrove Tuesday precedes Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, and usually occurs between 2nd February and 9th March. What Does Shrove Tuesday Mean? 'Shrove' comes from the word 'shrive,' which means to obtain absolution for a person's sins. Christians are 'shriven' before Lent begins. Why Do We Eat Pancakes On Shrove Tuesday? Pancakes were -and still are - a way of using up food, such as eggs, milk and sugar, before 40 days of fasting for Lent. As a popular event to have pancakes as a special treat, Pancake Day is celebrated by all sort of people, not just Christians. But it’s important to understand where it comes from: Christianity and the Season of Lent. What is the Season of Lent in Christianity? This period dates back to the 16th century. It is a six-week period when Christians follow three key traditions: Fasting: they give something up, such as alcohol or chocolate. They do this to show they are thinking of the sacrifice that was made by Jesus. Christians may also decide to share their time with people in need, or take up a new hobby. Prayer: people pray to go for those in need. This could people who are less fortunate, are suffering from illness or going through a rough time. When praying throughout make extra time to speak to God about what’s going on in their lives. When talking about things they are not proud of, known as sins, this act of speaking to God is called confession. Almsgiving: people show care, love and respect for others, by this tradition. This is done through several acts of giving, such as donating clothes and books to people in need. Christians may cook a meal for someone in need or volunteer to help at a local church.
