Thursday Evenings at All Hallows (Thursday, February 8, 2024) Is Now Online

 

Welcome to Thursday Evenings at All Hallows.

Next Tuesday is Shrove Tuesday. Lent begins the following day with Ash Wednesday. The name of “Shrove Tuesday” comes from the word shrive. To “shrive” someone refers to the practice of a priest listening to their confession about what they have done wrong, offering them assurance of God’s forgiveness, and giving them necessary spiritual advice. In medieval England everyone was summoned to church on Shrove Tuesday to be shriven before the start of Lent on the following day. Shrove Tuesday is a day on which Christians may wish to “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 God's help in dealing with.” They may also wish to consult on these matters with a spiritual counselor. They may wish to attend an Ash Wednesday service the next day and receive the imposition of ashes on their forehead as a visible sign of their repentance and a reminder of their mortality.
