Confession: a) Ive never heard this term before in my entire life. b) my eyesight is going c) I think I know everything. And dont. (but then again, you already knew that.) Conversation: G: Oh cute. Trinity Episcopal had a youth party called Shove Tuesday. Scott: What?!?! G: SHOVE. Like, Fat Tuesday when you shove everything in your mouth before Lent. Reality: (Wikipedia is once again smarter than me!) Shrove Tuesday (widely known as Pancake Day) is a day in February or March, preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), which is celebrated in many countries by consuming pancakes. Shrove Tuesday, a moveable feast, is determined by Easter. The expression Shrove Tuesday comes from the word shrive, meaning confess. Shrove Tuesday is observed by many Christians, including Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and Roman Catholics, who make a special point of self-examination, of considering what wrongs they need to repent, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they especially need to ask Gods help in dealing with. SHROVE, idiot. Not shove. But really...I kind of like Shove.
