During Spring, farmers need to hold their foodstuff and not eat them in command to have ample parturition for chickens, ducks, etc. Hence: don't eat egg in Spring. Don't eat food product in Lent.
In one of those exciting religious rite ironies, this edict is ready-made dead - and its principle is forgotten. "No egg in Lent" now becomes - all foodstuff must be devoured prior to Lent! And here we have the source of Shrove Tuesday (Mardi Gras - French for fat Tuesday). On Shrove Tuesday all the foodstuff we have are eaten up in pancakes: Pancake Tuesday.

Run to the place of worship beside a frying pan,
Never you put in the wrong place a minute!
Run to the minster next to a cooking pan
and a wan flapjack in it.
First to pass her flannel cake there,
though calorific or light she vanquish it,
Must throw her cake to the Bellringer,
And the bellringer he must eat it.
Then be she a ma'am or be she a miss
All breathless after rushing,
The bellringer he shall distribute her a kiss
And ne'er head her blushing!
Come Easter Sunday (with enough chickens and ducklings hatched!) and, erstwhile again we can open uptake food product. Easter eggs!
