GREENSBORO – Many ladies of the Greensboro United Church of Christ prepared 100 free pancake dinners with all the fixings February 21, to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, whose name comes from the old custom of confessing (being shriven) on that day. This event marks the celebration preceding the somber 40 days of Lent and Christ’s Crucifixion. Many people choose to fast starting Ash Wednesday, therefore Shrove Tuesday became the day to use up all the rich food left in the house, resulting in the tradition of pancakes. People of greater Greensboro picked up their pancake dinners via grab ‘n’ go distribution as they drove through the church parking lot.
