Shrovetide is a special time before Lent, usually the week leading up to it, when people enjoy fun and tasty foods. Lent is a season when some people give up treats, so Shrovetide is like a joyful celebration before that. One popular day is Pancake Day, when families make and eat lots of pancakes. In some places, there are also parades, parties, and games. It's a time to be happy, enjoy food with friends and family, and get ready for a quiet and thoughtful period called Lent, which lasts for about six weeks leading up to Easter.
