Pancake Day

Pancake Day

Shrove Tuesday, translated as Mardi Gras in French, comes from the verb to shrive, which means « to obtain absolution for one’s sins by going to confession ».

Shrove Tuesday is now better known as Pancake Day, for the delicious little golden pancakes we are used to bake.

The Origin of Pancake Day

The festival of religious origin, therefore, seems today to be more particularly a gourmet festival. 

“Pancake day” takes place the day before the start of Lent.

It was traditionally the day when all Christians had to go to confession and when they ate all the rich foods forbidden during Lent. The eggs, butter and fat that remained in the house were used to make pancakes, hence the name “Pancake Day”.

Where is it celebrated?

This day is celebrated in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of the United States.

When is it celebrated?

This celebration, therefore, has a religious character and the date of it varies according to the lunar calendar. But this year Pancake Day will be celebrated on Tuesday, March 1st.

How is it celebrated?

On this day, families and friends gather to prepare and eat sweet or savory pancakes.

During Pancake Day, the British organize pancake races, during which a large number of people dress up and run with a pancake in their pan. The goal of the race is to be the first to arrive at the finish line with the pancake in your pan by throwing the pancake while running. This tradition is said to have its origins in the 15th century when a British housewife busy making her pancakes, lost track of time, and when she heard the church bells she ran to the church with his pan and his pancakes.

April Fool’s day

April Fool’s Day
The Fool’s day is celebrated on April 1st
This tradition is celebrated all around the world but more generally in Europe, for example in the United Kingdom, we call it April fool’s day.
In Spain, Fool’s day is on december 28.
For the Catholics, this date is when they celebrate St Hugues.
There are different legends, more likely is that, one day was dedicated to the god of laughter in the Ancient Greece. This day was dedicated to the craziest man and at the inversion of the rich and poor people like in a carnival. This tradition was picked up by the Romans for her goddess Aphrodite. This explication is the better if we take into account the other similar feast in
Europe and in the world.
The second legend is really famous too, in 1564, Charles IX, King of France, decided to establish  the 1st January as the 1 day of the year because before it was on April the first that the 1st day of the year was.

According to the legend many persons said no and continued to make gifts of New Year on April 1st. While others continue to give presents until April.
Little by little, these fake presents have changed in jokes then in April’s fish in the back of the body. This legend is probably fake because April Fool’s day is celebrated in other countries.
Specific vocabulary :
-April Fool’s day = jour des fous en Avril      – jokes = farces    -Carnival = carnaval
