Free pancake dinner at shrine
MARIA STEIN – On Shrove Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2021, also commonly referred to as “Fat Tuesday,” the Maria Stein Shrine of the Holy Relics will be hosting a free pancake dinner starting at 6 p.m. The dinner will be held on the third floor in The Upper Room.
Shrove Tuesday falls right before Lent, which is a time of absolution and penance for many Christians. During the 40 days of Lent, some people fast, while others give up something they enjoy. The reason pancakes are eaten on this day is because they were a good way for people to use up their milk, eggs, sugar and flour.
