Honestly, when I first read this question, I had never heard of Pancake Day, since I live in the US, and I actually thought it was a joke. But I did the research and found that it isn't a joke. There really is a Pancake Day. Once I did the research, I realized why we would not celebrate this holiday. Many call this holiday Shrove Tuesday. It is actually from the same origin as Fat Tuesday here in the states. It is connected to carnaval. Pancake Day, Shrove Tuesday, or fat Tuesday is a day of celebration, just before Lent. I am explaining this for the benefit of other readers that, like me, never heard of Pancake Day. Since it is connected to a pagan celebration, Carnaval, whether some say it has been "christianized" or not, it is still from pagan roots. Jehovah's Witnesses will not support or engage in any festival or celebration in any way whatsoever that comes from religion that does not give honor to the God of The Bible.

Why don't the Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate teachers day?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate holidays that they believe do not fit true Christianity. These include Christmas, Easter, and even birthdays. The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Christ did not command his birth - or any birth - to be celebrated; he just wanted his death to be remembered.
Why don't Jehovah Witnesses believe in the birth of Christ?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not have doubts that Jesus was born. In fact, they are just as thankful he was born as the next person. They dont celebrate his birth, because his death holds more signifigance. Luke chapter 22 verses 19 through 20 gives clear meaning that Jesus was saying to celebrate his death, not his birth. His blood really saved man, not his birth. This question was no doubt asked on the bases that Jehovah's Witnesses do no celebrate Christmas. Contact local witnesses for more information about why they dont celebrate christmas or Jesus' birth.

Should you give a card to a Jehovah's witness for the birth of their child?
Yes you can give a witnesses a card; whether the witnesses will chose to accept it will depend on several factors. Since Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas or birthdays (or other celebrations they deem as 'pagan') if this has previously been explained the witness may or may not choose to accept the card if it is for one of these occassions. He or she may accept the card in the spirit it was given, explaining the above or may chose not to accept the card. If the card is for another occassion that the witnesses finds unobjectionable they will likely accept it with thanks.
