Everyone has traditions around the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the Tuesday before Lent (and Lenten disciplines) begin. Whether it’s Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday, Fastnacht, whether you are eating pancakes, donuts (fastnachts), beignets, or paczkis, the thought is the same – use up the rich, heavy foods that we will not be eating during Lent. Come and learn about Shrove Tuesday and Lent, get crafty, participate in the traditional pancake flipping race, EAT PANCAKES, and join in prayers as we burn our Palms from last year’s Palm Sunday to make our ash for Ash Wednesday. Bring your favorite pancake topping.
