What is Shrove Sunday? Well, it involves pancakes, laughter, and fellowship!

Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent. Lent is a season of simple living, and historically people did not each rich foods, like milk, butter, or eggs during Lent. The day before Lent, people would clean out their kitchens by indulging in these rich foods. They would make pancakes, which use all of these ingredients plus flour. Some say this tradition is over 1,000 years old and it still continues today!

We celebrate Shrove Tuesday on Sunday at the Cathedral so we can all be together for the pancake feast. Join us for delicious breakfast plus fun events, including a sing-a-long and pancake eating contest.
