What is Fasnacht Day and why is it celebrated?
Fasnacht Day is an annual Pennsylvania Dutch celebration that falls on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.
Christians worldwide celebrate Shrove Tuesday. It's the last day before the 40-day Lent period of fasting and prayer.
Fasnacht Day marks when Pennsylvania Dutch observers make doughnuts to use up the lard, sugar, butter and eggs they have on hand before the Lenten fast begins.
