International Pancake Day
February 13
International Pancake Day
February 13
Which is especially popular in England and America.
In the US, the first pancake festival took place in Kansas in 1950.
But in the English town of Olney it has been held for more than 500 years.
It began with the fact that during Lent one of the housewives secretly fried pancakes in her kitchen. Suddenly there was a bell ringing. The poor housewife was so frightened that, forgetting everything in the world, she rushed to the church ... directly with a frying pan in her hands and crepes flirting on her. This was in 1445.
Since then, townspeople organize an annual race with the pancakes - women, certainly in dresses and aprons, must run a certain distance, throwing a pancake in a frying pan.
So in Albi and Liberal, women run around the streets each year with pans in their hands, turning over pancakes while running. A reward to the winner is the kiss of the bell ringer, honor and respect.
Well, and pancakes, which did not fall off the pans during the race, then amicably eaten by the audience.
A similar tradition exists in the Westminster School in London - a pancake baked with horse hair so that it does not fall apart, throw in a frying pan, and then the students try to grab a bigger piece.
Radio day
The date was not chosen by chance - on February 13, 1946, the UN Headquarters first aired on UN Radio. World Radio Day is held to strengthen cooperation between all radio lovers, be they big companies or single-lovers, and promote universal access to information.
Condom Day
This date entered the world calendars in 2007, and every year the events dedicated to this day become more and more creative and diverse.
The purpose of the International Day of the Condom is to tell sexually active people about the condom as a reliable method of contraception and protection against sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
On this day, actions and flash mobs usually take place, during which activists hand out “items 2” to passersby. So if you see a trick-play clerk in an interesting “cape-hood”, do not rush around it in a wide arc.
