The word shrove is a past tense of the English verb "shrive," which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by confessing and doing penance. It was customary to confess and be cleansed of one’s sins before Lent began. It’s also known as Pancake Day in the UK and Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday in New Orleans.
Whatever, it’s a day to be enjoyed and to give thanks.
