Are you partaking in Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday before Lent?

[Anonymous]

Today is known as Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day. Traditionally during Lent, Christians would give up rich, tasty foods such as butter, eggs, sugar and fat before you began fasting for Lent. Lent is a 40-day period of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in preparation for Easter. It's a time of reflection and asking for forgiveness. Shrove Tuesday is the last day before Lent to indulge.

Are you partaking in pancake day by enjoying your vices one more time before Lent begins? What are you giving up this year for Lent?

As much as I can. I was sick yesterday and am still recovering today. I hope I'm well enough to grill the two gigantic steaks I bought for this very purpose.

I'm moving towards that traditional fast. The last few years, I've gone without meat. I've also given up sweets, coffee, and warm water, and only eaten one full meal per day. This year, I plan to add doing spiritual reading each day.

I've done pancakes but not the American kind, The ones in here in the UK are more like French Crêpe or Crepe which are made from unleavened batter or dough that is cooked on a frying pan or a griddle. With sweet or savoury filling such as cheese, fruit, vegetables, meats, and a variety of spreads.

I'm catholic on my birth certificate, I like pancakes but I don't perform any lent, I eat even bloody steaks at Friday. God didn't give me a slender body that can eat everything without gaining a gram because god wanted I walk hungry around.

Christain’s don’t fast during lent. The only thing they give up is meat like beef, pork, chicken and turkey on ((((((Friday))))))

They can still eat fish.
