Today we have made pancakes. We made them because it's Shrove Tuesday. In Jesus' time they made pancakes to use up all their eggs, flour, milk and sugar because they start fasting for 40 days. This time of year is called Lent. Lent prepares us for Easter. If they didn't use them up they would be all hard and would have gone off. We also burned the palm leaves from Palm Sunday last year. We burned them because it's Ash Wednesday tomorrow and we will get the ashes on our forehead.
Hi I liked Shrove Tuesday they look yum.
