Be ready for it !!!
Candlemas, a Catholic
holiday is celebrated exactly 40 days after Christmas – every 2nd of February
to be precise. For the Catholics it is a feast to commemorate the Virgin Mary’s
purification and the presentation of the child Jesus. Originating as a Roman
feast, this tradition has been observed from generation to generation and even
to this day.
In France, Candlemas holiday is called "La Chandeleur", "Fête de la Lumière" or "jour des
crêpes". One of the highlights of this French celebration is eating
a lot of crêpes on Chandeleur, along with a bit of fortune telling while the
crêpe is being made. Part of the French tradition is holding a coin with the
writing hand and a crêpe pan held by the other hand. The crêpe is flipped into
the air. If the crêpe is caught in the pan, it is believed that the family will
be prosperous for the rest of the year. (Source : Bordeaux apartement).
