Just Me....

It's the last day before Lent when, due to the 40 days of fasting (until Easter Sunday), the early Christians would use up their flour to make unleven bread. Basically so it didnt go to waste.

Nowadays we do pancakes. A lot of Catholics and Orthodox Christians still practice fasting over Lent so for them it is more symbolic than for the rest of us (I guess).

Hope this helps!
