Today Is Ash Wednesday, The Beginning Of Lent #episcopal #anglican
The first of the forty days of Lent, named for the custom of placing blessed ashes on the foreheads of worshipers at Ash Wednesday services. The ashes are a sign of penitence and a reminder of mortality, and may be imposed with the sign of the cross. Ash Wednesday is observed as a fast in the church year of the Episcopal Church.

Christians around the world will be participating in Ash Wednesday services today. It is a time of reflection and prayer as a preparation for Easter.

Tunes Tuesday – Adele – Set Fire To The Rain
It’s raining here and I would like to set fire to it. Awhile back we had drought now we are good with precipitation. Some snow would be nice but that is for another post.
Today Is Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day!
Shrove Tuesday (also known in Commonwealth countries as Pancake Tuesday or Pancake day) is the day in February or March immediately preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. In others, especially those where it is called Mardi Gras or some translation thereof, this is a carnival day, and also the last day of “fat eating” or “gorging” before the fasting period of Lent.

This evening at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church we will gather together to feast on pancakes and to enjoy each others company. Any excuse for eating pancakes any time of day is good with me. Tomorrow will begin the season of Lent which encourages introspection, meditation and fasting leading up to Easter.
