Lady day...


Today it´s the Lady Day or as I want to see it våffeldagen, but I haven´t eat some…

In Swedish the word våffla is attested since 1642 and derives from the German Waffel  but is possibly associated by [our Swedish] ancestors with Vår Fru (The Virgin Mary). Waffles are even today in a large number of Swedish households commonly served on Våffeldagen, that is to say, on Lady Day, which is observed the 25th of March.
