Yesterday was Pancake Tuesday/Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. Traditionally, Christians would go to confession to admit their sins before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. After confession, people would go home and make pancakes and enjoy a feast before Lent. On Ash Wednesday, Christians attend a special Mass where they admit their sins and ask God for forgiveness. During the Mass, a priest places ashes in the shape of a cross on their foreheads as a symbol of sorrow for wrongdoings and of their love for Jesus Christ. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, during which Christians give up pleasures for 40 days until Easter Sunday.
