Tuesday, February 25th—Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

Where:  Café Lago, located at 1200 Lakeway Drive in Lakeway

What’s Shrove Tuesday? And why pancakes?
The word “shrove” is a version of the word “shrive,” meaning to “confess and receive absolution.” On Shrove Tuesday, we are on the cusp of Lent, the great penitential season of the Church when we repent and confess and return…when we “shrive.” The day also has other names, including Pancake Tuesday, Carnival, and Mardi Gras.

Eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday is an English custom that’s been taken on by churches in the United States. Lent is a season we observe by “fasting and self-denial,” as it says in the Book of Common Prayer. So the night before Lent begins, we feast on a meal…a meal high in carbs and high in fat! Enjoy!
So we’re invited to be with the community, and enjoy a pre-Lenten celebration! See you then, and bring a friend!
