SHROVE TUESDAY Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter – was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were “shriven” (absolved from their sins). A bell would be rung to call people to confession. This came to be called the “Pancake Bell” and is still rung today. Shrove Tuesday always falls 47 days before Easter Sunday, so the date varies from year to year and falls between February 3 and March 9. Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients.

Tradition has it that the first person over the threshold on New Year’s Day will dictate the luck brought to the household in the coming year. That person usually brings a piece of coal, a loaf and a bottle of whiskey. On entering he must place the fuel on the fire, a loaf and a bottle on the table and pour a glass for the head of the house without speaking. He can speak when he has wished everyone ‘A Happy New Year’. Good Friday – Friday before Easter Day. It is traditional to eat warm 'hot cross buns' on Good Friday.
