Candlemas: crêpes and traditions
The Candlemas Countdown 2026 prepares you for this delicious celebration. On February 2, people bring out their crêpe pans to celebrate Candlemas. According to tradition, you should hold a coin in your right hand and flip the crêpe with your left hand to ensure prosperity for the whole year. Sweet or savory, crêpes come in endless varieties: butter and sugar, jam, chocolate, or classic buckwheat crêpes. Candlemas also marks the return of light, forty days after Christmas, and announces the end of winter. A simple and convivial celebration that the whole family looks forward to with appetite.
