Why do we eat
pancakes on Shrove
Tuesday?
Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday".
The name comes from the ancient custom of
parading a fat ox through Paris on this day. The
ox was to remind the people that they were not
allowed to eat meat during Lent. Lent runs from
Ash Wednesday (13th Feb 2015) thru Easter
Sunday.
Mardi Gras moves. It can be anywhere between
February 3rd and March 9th. The date depends
on when Easter falls.
Mardi Gras parades happen throughout the
world. Some of the most famous celebrations
are held in
Nice (France),
Cologne (Germany),
Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
Binche (Belgium)
New Orleans French Quarter - (USA)
•The Tuesday that Mardi Gras falls on is also
known as Shrove Tuesday.
•The name comes from the custom of confessing
on the day before lent.
Shrove means "to be forgiven one's sins."
La Chandeleur = Candlemas = 2nd February.
This is the main date when pancakes are eaten in
France.

Mardi gras = “Fat Tuesday” = Shrove Tuesday
Also known as “carneval” – rather than preparing for
Lent by eating pancakes, this is a big party with
fancy dress and parades.

King Cakes are large, round cinnamon rolls covered with
white icing and sprinkled with the Mardi Gras colours. A
plastic baby the size of an almond is hidden inside.
Whoever finds the baby is the next king or queen and
must host the next King Cake party.
Mardi Gras is all about green, purple,
gold, sparkle, beads, masks and noise!
