Våffledagen

My Swedish Waffle and Coffee... mmmm...


Every year on the 25th of March, Swede's celebrate Våffledagen or Jungfru Marie Bedådelsedag
(Annunciation Day of the Virgin Mary). The Swedish name Våffla (waffle) comes from vår fru, which is an old name for the Virgin Mary. This day is also a celebration of the coming of Spring! On this day, Swedes eat heart-shaped waffles with a dollop of whipped cream and either stawberry or raspberry jam on top. All of the international students were invited to celebrate Våffledagen together with the host students. It was a fun and delicious celebration :o)
