Waffle Day

March 25

The religious Feast of the Annunciation, or Our Lady’s Day, is the inspiration for this sweet Scandinavian tradition. The original holiday is called Vårfrudagen in Swedish, but it sounds an awful lot like våffeldagen, which means “waffle day.” Over time, people in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark actually started calling it Waffle Day, sparking a shift in the celebration, which now involves eating the delicious fluffy treats.
