Shrove Monday, observed worldwide, falls on the Monday before Ash Wednesday and is a significant part of the Shrovetide season. In Germany, it is known as Rosenmontag and features parades with satirical floats, dancing, and costumes, marking the culmination of the carnival season that begins on November 11. In Denmark, the day is celebrated as Fastelavn, which includes children's processions and the unique tradition of "hit the cat out of the barrel," where children break a barrel filled with candy. In the UK, it is referred to as Collopy Monday, named after a traditional breakfast dish of bacon and eggs, while in east Cornwall, it is known as Paisen Monday due to the local custom of eating pea soup. The celebrations vary by region but generally involve festive activities leading up to Lent. In many Caribbean countries, Shrove Monday marks the opening of Carnival, known as Carnival Monday, featuring early parades.
