Description

This learning resource explores the significance of Shrove Tuesday within the context of religious education, focusing on the traditions of feasting and fasting as they relate to Lenten preparation. It emphasizes the historical practice of 'using up' rich foods, connecting this idea to resourcefulness and spiritual growth in a modern world. Additionally, the resource engages students in contemplating the transition from celebrating with pancakes to participating in charitable acts through Project Compassion, illustrating the Gospel values of justice and solidarity. An inquiry task is included, prompting students to identify the 'Three Pillars of Lent' and explore modern interpretations of fasting beyond food.
