SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER - MARCH 4, 2025

The name “shrove Tuesday” comes from the word “shrive” which means to confess one’s sins and receive absolution from a priest. The tradition of making pancakes on this day is believed to have originated in medieval England as a way to use up  rich and indulgent ingredients like eggs, milk, sugar and maple syrup before the fasting begins. Shrove Tuesday, often referred to as Pancake Day, is a Christian tradition that marks the day before the start of Lent. It’s a day of preparation and feasting before the 40 day period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter.
