Pancake Day Specials at Brunetti Classico!
Pancake Day is observed in most Catholic countries worldwide to mark the beginning of the lenten fast.
Pancake Day – or Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday and is celebrated by many Catholics worldwide by burning the palms from the previous years Palm Sunday.
Along with the burning of palms in preparation for Ash Wednesday, there are many different traditions observed worldwide with the most common being eating pancakes. Shrove Tuesday is celebrated by Catholics as a final feast day before their 40 day fast in the lead up to easter. Many Catholics eat pancakes and other sweets on Pancake Day as giving up eating sweets is a common tradition during lent and many Parishes and Catholic schools will celebrate Pancake Day with a pancake breakfast.
