What is British Pancake Day Traditions Explained about?
Pancake Day is a British tradition celebrated on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent. On this day, pancakes are traditionally eaten before the fasting period of Lent begins. Some towns hold annual pancake races where participants run while tossing pancakes in pans. The tradition is said to have begun when a woman in Olney was running late to church and cooked pancakes as she went. Their race now involves women tossing pancakes three times as they run to the church.
