“Shrove Tuesday” is the day before Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent; a 40 day period of reflection and spiritual discipline, at times marked by fasting, to prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ remembered during the week of the Passion and on Easter. Shrove is the past tense of the English verb to shrive, which means to obtain absolution for one’s sins by way of confession and doing penance. The roots of this day are what some countries and cultures celebrate as Carnival or Mardi Gras.
In England and some other countries the day was observed by eating rich foods made with eggs, sugar and butter (such as pancakes) to the extent that some call the day — Pancake Day.
Join us as we raise money for the needs of many in earthquake struck Haiti.
All are welcome!
