There’s one day a year when it’s almost mandatory to enjoy pancakes … Shrove Tuesday, better known as pancake day!<\/p>\n

In Kingaroy, the Anglican Ladies from St Michael and All Angels Church hosted their traditional annual celebration in the church hall.<\/p>\n

However, there was a new face behind the pan this year, with locum priest Rev Ian Bailey – who is at the parish until the end of June – learning how to flip.<\/p>\n

He admitted it was the first time he had tried to cook pancakes, but no one seemed to be complaining when they tasted the results.<\/p>\n

Craft, baked items and plants were also available to buy, and there was a competition for the prettiest fan.<\/p>\n

In Yarraman, Heritage House also put on a spread of pancakes on Tuesday for their traditional annual celebration.<\/p>\n

Local residents dined out on sweet and savoury pancakes as well as enjoying tea and coffee.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/center>In western traditions, Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of the Christian season of Lent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lent has always been a traditional time of penance lasting approximately 40 days in the lead-up to Easter.<\/p>\n

Throughout history various cultures developed different ways of marking this last day of celebration before a time of fasting.<\/p>\n

Practically, Shrove Tuesday was also a way to use up foodstuffs that were once forbidden during the \u201cblack fast\u201d, including eggs, butter and milk (which, of course, make pancakes!)<\/p>\n

During the traditional black fast, only one meal a day was allowed and meat and alcohol were forbidden – another reason why Shrove Tuesday sometimes developed into a day of rowdy celebration known as “mardi gras” (ie \u201cfat Tuesday\u201d) and \u201ccarnival\u201d (ie “farewell meat”).<\/p>\n
