As you say, "shrove" is from the Old English, "to shrive," or to hear confessions. It is also related to the Latin "scribere" or "to write." From the Latin, we get the English "enscribe" and "scribble."<BR/><BR/>At our little Anglican Church on Shrove Tuesday this year, we had a traditional pancake supper and also offered the opportunity for "enscribing" or "scribbling" (depending upon your age : ) ) a confession or a commitment to a lenten discipline. It was a very moving part of preparation for a Holy Lent.Jennifer Merckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704438819032611730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-57468835380989299462008-02-04T06:37:00.000-06:002008-02-04T06:37:00.000-06:00Amy - excellent post!
