🥞 Join us for the Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper! 🥞Date: Tuesday, March 4th
Time: Starting at 6:00 PM
Location: 1201 Riverside Dr
Shrove Tuesday is a day of indulgence before the 40 days of fasting during Lent. The word "shrove" comes from the Roman Catholic practice of "shriving," or confessing one's sins. Historically, families would make pancakes to use up rich ingredients like eggs, butter, and milk, which would be forbidden during Lent. 🍳🥞
The tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday dates back to the Middle Ages, and these ingredients symbolize creation, wholesomeness, and purity. 🕊️
