Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "الثلاثاء البدين" in Arabic language version.
In Anglican countries, Mardis Gras is known as Shrove Tuesday-from shrive meaning "confess"-or Pancake Day"-after the breakfast food that symbolizes one final hearty meal of eggs, butter, and sugar before the fast. On Mardi Gras Day, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the last parades of the season wrap-up and the celebrations come to a close with the Meeting of the Courts (aka the Rex Ball locally). On Ash Wednesday, the morning after Mardi Gras, repentant Christians return to church to receive upon the forehead the sign of the cross in ashes.
