Church offers
Shrove Tuesday meal
The Shrove Tuesday
Pancake Supper on February
9 from 5 to 7 p.m. will pro-
vide supper for an entire fam-
ily for $10 at The Episcopal
Church of the Transfiguration
in Sisters.
Shrove Tuesday is the
same day on which Mardi
Gras is celebrated, the last
day before Lent begins. In
2016, Lent begins on Ash
Wednesday, February 10.
The observance of Shrove
Tuesday began during the
Middle Ages. Then, as now,
particularly in certain parts
of the world, food items like
meats, eggs, milk and fish
were restricted during Lent.
To keep such foods from being
wasted, they were shared in a
feast so they would not spoil
during the next 40 days.
“Shrove” is derived from
the word “Shrive” which
means to confess and receive
absolution. So, it is a day of
repentance before a period
of fasting that is observed by
many during Lent.
Here in Sisters, everyone is
invited to share in this tradi-
tion. The Episcopal Church of
the Transfiguration is located
at 68825 Brooks Camp Rd.
The menu includes all-you-
can eat buttermilk, plain, and
blueberry pancakes, sausage,
variety of syrups, homemade
applesauce, orange juice, cof-
fee and tea. Cost is $4 for
adults; $2 for children ages
4 to 12, children under 4 are
free; $10 per family of four or
more. All are welcome.
