At Peartree, we had pancakes on Shrove Tuesday 25th
February. This delicious treat was provided by Nathan, who brought his
home-made pancakes for everyone at the school!
Pancake day begins a period traditionally called ‘Lent’ It
is a period of all kinds of fasting. Throughout Christendom, the season of Lent
is celebrated for 40 days before Easter, starting on Ash Wednesday and ending
on the evening before Resurrection Sunday. It is a period of reflection,
repentance, and self-denial for many Christians (replicating Jesus’ withdrawal
into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan over 40 days)
40 is an important number in the Jewish-Christian Scriptures,
for example:
''In Genesis, the flood which destroyed the earth was
brought about by 40 days and nights of rain.
The Hebrews spent 40 years in the wilderness before reaching
the land promised to them by God.
Moses fasted for 40 days before receiving the ten
commandments on Mount Sinai.
Jesus spent 40 days fasting in the wilderness in preparation
for his ministry.''
And other references...

Coming from an Old English word, Lent is associated with the
words ‘long’ and ‘spring’, perhaps referring to the lengthening of days in the
spring (yay!).
