Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.

Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday falls on 9 February this year.

This Christian holiday is derived from the word “shrive” meaning absolve, thus Christians make a point of self-examination, considering what wrongs need repenting, what amendments need to be made in their lives and which areas of their lives they need God’s help with.

It is also the last day of indulgence before the fasting period of Lent begins.
