According to Swedish tradition, the Great Donut (den Goda Pajen) visits all the world's donut shops on the last Wednesday of Advent (Munk Onsdagen), blessing a handful of donuts at each location. These blessed donuts are said to give the consumer special benefits throughout the year. Traditional blessings are associated with baked goods. For example, "you will marry a girl who owns a deep fryer (flottflickan)" or "the village baker adopts you as a daughter (brödadoptering)". More modern blessings can be more varied. For example, "you gain the power to transform into a salmon at will (fiskeriutbrot)" or "you gain the ability to come up with really cool rock band names on demand (gitarr hjälte)".
Since most people are probably gone for the holiday already, those few of us who are left have an excellent chance to score one of these special donuts. Don't miss Donut Wednesday on such a special day!
