Shrove Tuesday
Ash Wednesday
S hrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, is the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. The name "Shrove" comes from the Old English word "shrive," meaning to confess sins. Traditionally, it's a time for reflection and preparing for the 40-day fasting period. This year, we celebrated by cooking pancakes for all shifts. Thank you to everyone who joined the feast!
O bserved on February 26, 2025, Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a 40-day period of reflection, fasting, and spiritual preparation for Easter. Many Christians seek renewal through prayer, self-discipline, and acts of kindness. During services, ashes are placed on the forehead in a cross, symbolizing humility, repentance, and life’s impermanence. Whether you observe this tradition or reflect on its meaning, Ash Wednesday encourages renewal, mindfulness, and compassion.
