Tue. (March 4, 2025) 5PM St. Paul's Episcopal Church invites the public to attend its SHROVE TUESDAY Pancake Supper in Fellowship Hall (116 N. Academy, Murfreesboro). Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, is the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent in the Christian calendar. The name "Shrove" comes from the old English word "shrive," meaning to confess and receive absolution for sins. It's a day of reflection and preparation for the penitential season of Lent.

The tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday comes from the need to use up rich foods like eggs, milk, and sugar before the Lenten fasting period. It's a day of feasting and celebration before the solemnity of Lent begins.

Here's a summary for your event:
