Between Pancake Day and Easter, Christians often choose to fast or give up foods. The 40 days are symbolic of the time Jesus spent in the desert, where he needed to fast in order to resist temptations from Satan.
So, why pancakes?
Christian families used to prepare for their fasting period by using up a lot of the ingredients in their kitchen. This would include eggs, flour and milk – which is a coincidence as this is everything needed to make a fantastic pancake!
