Pancake Day is one of the few food holidays that has its roots firmly planted in tradition and was not simply named on a whim to celebrate the tasty breakfast food. Pancake Day is better known as Fat Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent, the period of fasting and prayer that precedes Easter in many Christian traditions. The tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday began as a way to use up ingredients including butter, milk and eggs that were not supposed to be eaten and would go bad during the period of Lent. Pancakes, particularly thin and buttery crepes, were a great way to use up these ingredients in one easy and indulgent dish. The tradition of eating pancakes is accessible to many regardless of religion, and the idea of a Pancake Day gets a little more popular every year.

These days many people opt to celebrate Pancake Day by eating pancakes for breakfast, lunch or dinner and the celebrations are decidedly non-religious for most. For instance, in the towns of Liberal, Kansas and Olney, England hold a pancake-flipping race, where women run down the streets of each town flipping pancakes, in a tradition that actually dates back hundreds of years. I personally just use Pancake Day as an excuse to eat pancakes for dinner and to try out a few new recipes, like the Passion Fruit Coconut Pancakes pictured above or a batch of Bacon Pancakes! Savory crepes are even a nice way to celebrate Pancake Day. You can eat pancakes any day of the year, of course, but having a holiday spring up around them just makes things seem a little more festive!

It is said that Romans & Greeks used to play a lot of games involving their feet. Earlier versions of

soccer were played as far back as the second century BC where the Chinese would play a rather dull

kicking game. Many warriors would use soccer related games in preparation for battle.

Furthermore, it appeared the Chinese military as far back as 3000 years ago played a game called cuju.

Cuju involved kicking a leather ball through a type of goal made from bamboo canes and silk cloth.

St. Patrick's Day

Who was St. Patrick?

Patrick was born in AD

387 born Britain. St. Patrick

was not Irish. He was

captured by Irish in his early

teens and taken to Ireland

where he was enslaved for

6 years. While he was

enslaved he grew to like

the spirit of Irish. When he

wasn’t enslaved no more

and went back to his family

he vowed to go back to

Ireland. Patrick initially

encountered many

hardships among the

pagans, particularly the

druids. They weren’t willing

to give up their power over

the old religion and feared

Patrick and Christianity.

They weren’t willing to give

up on their beliefs. Later on

he vowed to return to

Ireland since he really grew

to like the traditions of the

Irish.

Why do we celebrate St.

Patrick’s Day?

Many stories are told in

connection with St. Patrick.

The three-leaf clover was

said to be used by the

saintly bishop to explain the

Trinity to the pagans, which

is why it is such a common

St. Patrick's Day symbol

today.
