Crêpe Day

Crêpe Day is February 2nd

Who doesn't love Crêpes? Created and made famous by the French, Crêpes are similar to a pancake only thinner and typically used to wrap around a dessert or other food. 

Crêpe Day, also known as la Chandeleur in France, began as a religious holiday associated with Candlemas, but stems from more pagan traditions. On this day, the French people traditionally eat crêpes. Believed to celebrate the return of sunny days, crêpes symbolize the sun and the composition represents the flour of the harvest that will bring prosperity in the coming year.
