Waffles came to Sweden near the early 1600s and quickly spread to nearby lands. They were often eaten with jams and fruits, establishing themselves as a beloved treat to be eaten at all times of the day. The day itself is the result of a mispronunciation that brought two holidays together. In Sweden, Waffle Day is known as Våffeldagen, which sounded a lot like Vårfrudagen a day that celebrated the Virgin Mary's conception. Because of this lingual connection, it became customary for Swedish families to celebrate Vårfrudagen by eating waffles on Our Lady Day--which is March 25. In 1839, the Belgian waffle was created much thicker than regular waffles and with deeper grids so they hold more butter and syrup!
