Shrove Tuesday is Pancake Day.

The origin of eating pancakes on Pancake Day has to do with using up milk and eggs that would otherwise spoil because these items were not eaten during Lent.

In 2007 Pancake Day was on 20 February 2007
In 2008 Pancake Day is on 5 February 2008

Shrove Tuesday is the last day before the Christian period called Lent. It is the day before Ash Wednesday and the date is directly related to the date on which Easter falls.

Shrove Tuesday falls 41 days before Easter Sunday, so the date varies from year.
