Also known as Shrove Tuesday, it happens the day before Ash Wednesday which sees the beginning of Lent, for Christians this is the season when Jesus Christ withdrew into the perilous desert for 40 days. (Aim to make the batter a few hours ahead of time and leave it to set in your fridge) By virtue of this biblical significance, Lent is traditionally observed as a time of abstinence where people will give up a treat for that period, hence why in advance of this disciplined time we luxuriate in the indulgence of Pancake Day first. Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is observed by followers of the Christian faith all around the world and it marks the last day before Lent (Ash Wednesday) but it is celebrated even by those outside of Christianity.

Taste-bud tantalising treats can include pancakes topped in ice cream, chocolate spread, maple syrup or fresh fruit, while those with a savoury tooth may go ...

Ash Wednesday marks the 46 day period in the build-up to Easter Sunday, 40 days of which mark Lent. In preparation for Lent, on Shrove Tuesday Christians would clear out their cupboards and use up any items to prevent any temptation during fasting.

The price of Oil has bumped higher and trades this morning with a $77 handle, while bonds are breathing a sigh of relief after a very busy week, last that is… if I were a Fed head, and I read this letter, I would be embarrassed that the Mexico, is going about fighting inflation the right way, and I’m not… And the rising yields in bonds that began early last week, kept going strong, and the 10-year Treasury ended the week with a 3.85% yield. That has the been the story of Feb… As far as Gold, goes, the recent price decline, as with Silver also, is proving to be a buying opportunity… [Silver](https://www.fxstreet.com/rates-charts/xagusd) actually gained on the day, up 16-cents on Friday, to close the week at $21.81… And it all began that day when the PPT decided that the dollar had last too much, and the price manipulators decided that Gold has reached too high….

“It’s almost like subtraction by addition, if you take that time to nurture your fate, if you deliberately every day take 10 minutes to sit, and if you go through the the drive-thru, buy a coffee for someone else, extended random acts of kindness out in the community, we also encourage those kinds of practices, too.” Whether it’s Mardi Gras, fat Tuesday, New Orleans, the parade, that sort of thing, it’s that penultimate thing we do before we give things up for Lent.” The Christian festival of Shrove Tuesday falls on the Tuesday before the beginning of Lent, a period of around six weeks leading up to Easter.
