  • About six weeks from Easter you may start seeing things for Shrove Tuesday

  • or as Mardi Gras enthusiasts refer to it fat Tuesday.

  • or as its overprotective mother might refer to it,.. big boned Tuesday

  • now maybe there's a pancake breakfast or supper.

  • But what is that?

  • Shrove Tuesday.

  • and what do you

  • pancakes

  • have to do with anything

  • well, besides [belly pat]

  • butter and syrup

  • it's all about Shrove Tuesday on this episode of

  • Chuck Knows Church [fun intro music]

  • Shrove Tuesday it is the day before Ash Wednesday last wednesday

  • which is the first day of Lent

  • which is forty days before Easter and twenty nine days before my birthday

  • well it's forty days before Easter

  • uh... if you don't count the Sundays because

  • because lent.. nevermind

  • we are talking about lent in another episode and we're talking about my birthday?

  • uh, never...

  • Thank you for that.

  • So, Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday or maybe you recognize pancake Tuesday, ahh, it's all

  • clicking now isn't it..

  • Now, the word Shrove

  • is the past tense of the verb

  • Shrive

  • and we all know what that means don't we.

  • Yeah, didn't think so.

  • Shrive means to receive absolution

  • by confessing and doing penance

  • so Shrove Tuesday got its name from the shriving

  • that Christians were supposed to do immediately before lent. Lent being a

  • time to prepare for Easter

  • through prayer or repentance and most commonly perhaps

  • self-denial by giving up sweets

  • or fatty foods

  • or reality television

  • Now preparing for that self-denial meant limiting the good things that you might

  • find tempting

  • so traditionally for many

  • Shrove Tuesday became Fat Tuesday or even Pancake Tuesday

  • because making a pancake

  • is a way to use up all the rich food

  • like, eggs and milk and

  • sugar before fasting season of the forty days of lent. Now this is a particularly

  • effective practice

  • if you like jelly beans chocolate chip

  • leftover pie pancakes.

  • Which i do.

  • uh... of course at our church Shrove Tuesday always means

  • a pancake breakfast.

  • Someone has to eat them all right? Use up all the fat, and sugar, and

  • jelly beans.

  • Alright, to learn more you can ask your pastor

  • [laughing behind camera] [with a mouthful of pancakes] Tell them Chuck Sent ya.

  • [muffled] Oh, these are good

  • Can really taste the jelly beans

  • Umm..

  • Oh, I left a little bit here..

  • Mmmm..

  • [muffled] My compliments to the chef

  • [muffled] You want any?

  • [voice behind the camera] I'm not even going to say cut, just keep on going and going.

  • [muffled] This is what I want for my birthday. [voice behind camera] Just realized you don't have butter [laughing]

  • [voice behind the camera] uh... cut
