"Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter – was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were “shriven” (absolved from their sins)."
I forgive you.
I forgive you.

Its also Ash Wednesday, As a good Catholic boy We used to have to go to Church and the Priest would rub his thumb on our forehead with a bit of ash on it, I can't remember the significance of that but, If we did not attend, the nuns beat the living daylights out of us,,

It helped having a coal fire,if you didn't go..put your own on...it wasn't lying 'cause they'd never ask when they saw it on your forehead.

Nuns were merely sex slaves for the priests.
The ashes symbolize both death and repentance.

Prince Adam has just posted 'Pancake Day is for tossers 


' on Facebook so I’ve told him it’s the least original and unfunny joke since the concept of Mrs Brown's Boys was pitched to the Commissioning Editor of Comedy for the BBC.
