Since before the Christian era
Shrove
Tuesday or Pancake Day
Was
celebrated far and wide
And
was originally a pagan holiday
Changing
seasons was a struggle
Between
Jarilo the God of brightness
Vegetation,
fertility, and springtime
And
the evil spirits of cold and darkness
So,
they had to help the God Jarilo
And
victory meant spring had begun
So,
they cooked and ate pancakes
Hot
and round symbolizing the sun
