Shrove Tuesday

Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday so we made pancakes with the juniors. We make pancakes because in Jesus' time before lent they used to give up ingredients like flour, eggs and milk so that they wouldn't rot over the 40 days of lent.  In the morning we had the burning of the palms.  The reason why we burn the palms is so on ash Wednesday the ashes get put in a cross on our head.  When we made the batter it was very lumpy and creamy and gooey but in the end the pancakes tasted great!  Here are some photos of the pancakes.
