🥞 It’s Shrove Tuesday… so let the fun begin! 🥞
Today’s the day before Lent - those 40 days where people traditionally give something up. In some Eastern churches, Lent means proper fasting (we’re talking one meal a day and no meat or eggs).
Meanwhile, in Western churches, things are a little more relaxed… most people just give up something they really love. Chocolate, sweets, crisps… or that one treat that mysteriously disappears from the cupboard the moment you buy it.
So before Ash Wednesday arrives and we all start pretending we won’t miss our favourites…
👉 What are you thinking of giving up for Lent or will you be adding a new good habit instead?
Let’s see who’s feeling brave this year!
