Pancake Day is celebrated in many countries of the world: the UK, the USA, Ireland, Australia, Brazil, Greece, Sweden, Germany, France, Iceland. Unlike Russia, this celebration in Europe and America lasts only one day. It takes place on Tuesday, called Pancake Tuesday. There are many traditions of celebrating this day. In England pancake races are held all over the country. Men and women taking part in it must wear an apron or scarf. Each of them has a frying pan with a hot pancake. They must toss the pancake three times during the race, which is 875 meters long. At the end of the race the pancake should look just as round and beautiful as at the start of the race! It's not that easy!
