Shrove Tuesday is the day immediately preceding Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent in Western Christian churches. Shrove Tuesday is the last day of Carnival season and is typically marked with festivities and rich foods before the more somber Lenten season. It occurs between February 2 and March 9, depending on Easter’s date.
