Lady Day, 25 March is the British name for the Christian festival of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. Until 1752 it was the beginning of the new year in England, and it is still a quarter day (date for the payment of quarterly rates or dues).
In Sweden, the 25 March is Waffle Day, or Våffeldagen. It traditionally falls , and heralds the beginning of Spring. It is a Swedish custom to welcome the season change by serving waffles all day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
