Represents a small theater of how this day came about
Information provided in class:
Pancake day is a festival of religious origin held in the United Kingdom on Carnival
Tuesday. Traditionally, as it was the last day before Lent, all those high-fat foods should be
consumed at home that were forbidden during fasting. It is believed that this tradition
originates from the 15th century. When a British housewife busy making her pancakes lost
notion of time and when she heard the church chimes he ran out arriving with his frying
pan and pancake in his hand.

running, at least three times.
