National Waffle Day

About National Waffle Day

In England and other parts of Europe, the Feast of the Annunciation is commonly called Lady Day, derived from 'Our Lady's Day'. This name derivation was taken one step further in Sweden, where the common pronunciation of 'Our Lady's Day' is 'Vaffledagen', which became 'Waffle Day', and it is now a Swedish tradition to eat waffles on March 25th.
