Shrovetide information

Shrovetide is the Christian liturgical period prior to the start of Lent that begins on Shrove Saturday and ends at the close of Shrove Tuesday.^[1]^[2] The season focuses on examination of conscience and repentance before the Lenten fast.^[3]^[4] It includes Shrove Saturday, Shrove Sunday, Shrove Monday and Shrove Tuesday.^[1]^[2]

During Shrovetide, Christians used up ingredients used to make rich foods, inclusive of meat, eggs, lacticinia and alcohol as these things were not enjoyed during the 40-day fasting season of Lent—a practice that continues in Eastern Christianity and among Western Christian congregations practicing the Daniel Fast.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]
