Pancake Supper Coming February 13th, 2024
February 8, 2024 – The annual Pancake supper hosted by St. Phillips Episcopal Church in Sulphur Springs will be held Tuesday February 13, 2024. Service starts at 5 and goes to 7pm.
Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter – was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were “shriven” (absolved from their sins). A bell would be rung to call people to confession. This came to be called the “Pancake Bell” and is still rung today.
