PANCAKE DAY

Pancake Day is a festivity on Shrove Tuesday, the day before the start of Lent, that are the 40 days before Easter. On this day in UK there is the Pancake race, when people run with a pancake in a pan and when they run, they have to toss the pancake so they  throw the pancake in the air and catch it in the pan. Its origin tells of a housewife, hearing the bell for the confession, dashing to the Church still holding her frying pan containing a pancake.The first run was in the year 1445. It is not known where the original start line was but the finish line was at the Church door.
