The Olney Pancake Race dates back to 1445 and commemorates a woman who was late for church on Shrove Tuesday and ran while still holding her frying pan and wearing an apron. Now, the annual race takes place on Shrove Tuesday in Olney, England and features women residents racing down the High Street while tossing pancakes and wearing traditional attire. The race has also formed a transatlantic link with Liberal, Kansas which holds a similar pancake race on the same day, and racers from both towns compete for the fastest time.

Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, is the day before Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. It is a tradition to eat pancakes on this day as it is the last opportunity to eat fatty foods like eggs and butter before Lent. Pancake races are held where participants must flip a pancake in a pan as they race to be the first to cross the finish line while the pancake is still in the pan.Pancake Day 2015

Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, falls the day before Ash Wednesday and marks the last day before Lent. It gets its name from the custom of Christians being "shriven" or absolved from their sins before Lent. On this day, pancakes are traditionally eaten to use up foods like eggs and milk that will be given up for Lent. Pancakes symbolize important aspects of life and are made from ingredients representing creation, nourishment, purity and wholesomeness. Events like pancake races are held where people race while flipping pancakes in pans.Pancake day

Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, falls 47 days before Easter Sunday and marks the last day before the Lenten fasting period begins on Ash Wednesday. Traditionally, Anglo-Saxon Christians would go to confession on this day and use up eggs, flour, milk, and other pantry items to make pancakes before the 40 days of fasting for Lent. In the UK, pancake races are held where people, usually dressed as housewives, race down streets trying to flip pancakes and be the first to cross the finish line without dropping it.Easter by lewis and jacob 2

The poem is about giving an onion instead of traditional Valentine's gifts like roses or cards. The onion represents the raw emotions of love that can bring both tears of joy and sadness. It promises to be as fiercely loyal and possessive as a lover, clinging to one's senses just as the memory of a loved one. Though not traditionally romantic, the onion serves as a more honest symbol of the complexity of love than stereotypical Valentine's Day gifts.Dr. who beginner's guide with changes to correct

Pancake race history
- 1. Pancake Race History A short history of pancakes in Olney... Olney's famous race is run every Shrove Tuesday, featuring women who have lived in the town for more than 6 months. It dates back to 1445 and it is believed it all began with a townswoman late for the Shriving service at the Olney parish church. The day is significant. Eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, is an ancient tradition. It is the day before Lent; the start of the traditional fast. By giving up dairy products, people marked Jesus' 40 days and nights in the wilderness. So on Shrove Tuesday, stores of dairy products were used up in the pancake mix. Racing to church - The Olney Pancake Race For our Olney woman, it was also important to attend the Shriving service before the start of Lent, a time to confess sins before Ash Wednesday. So the story goes, hearing the church bells ring out for the service, our townswoman fled her house fearful of being late. She ran the distance down the High Street to make it to the parish church - still clutching her frying pan and wearing an apron. Now, the event is still commemorated hundreds of years later in the Olney pancake race. The Olney residents (women) compete in traditional apron, cap, and holding a fying pan with a real pancake. They must toss their pancake once at the start (ouside The Bull Inn) and once at the finish by the church. http://www.olneyonline.com/Pancake-Race-History
- 2. The race starts at 11.55am. The Olney High Street is shut, and spectators line the route from the Market Place all the way to Olney's St.Peter and St.Paul church. Transatlantic links For the fastest Olney runner, there's a prize - but there are prizes too for the oldest participant and the one who raises the most for charity. The runners support many causes and sponsorship usually runs into a hundred pounds for both Olney charities and those supporting our links in Africa. The town of Liberal in the USA runs a race over the same distance on the same day, and the best of Liberal compete with the best of Olney for the fastest time. When the Pancake Race is over the runners, officials, townspeople and visitors, pour into the Parish Church of St. Peter & St. Paul for the great Shriving Service when several of the famous Olney Hymns are sung. Competitors place their frying pans around the font and occupy seats reserved for them, and during the service, the presentation of the official prizes from Olney and Liberal USA takes place. There is also an official prize-giving in the evening. http://www.olneyonline.com/Pancake-Race-History
