Pancake day in Denmark.

At Fastelavn they have a tradition which translated means 'to hit the cat out of the barrel', some describe it as Nordic Halloween and it occurs 7 weeks before Easter on Pancake day. Daniella Falkenberg doesn't celebrate this tradition, because it's mostly for kids. Fun fact about that tradition: The Danes use a wooden barrel, which is full of candy and sometimes oranges and has the image of a cat on it. Historically there was a real black cat in the barrel, and beating the barrel was superstitiously considered a safeguard against evil. After the candy pours out, the game continues until the entire barrel is broken. The one who knocks down the bottom of the barrel (making all the candy spill out) becomes kattedronning ("queen of cats") and the one who knocks down the last piece of the barrel becomes kattekonge ("king of cats").
