crêpe day

happy crêpe day!!!


my daughter told me that today is crêpe day. in france, crêpes were traditionally served on candlemas (la chandeleur), 2 february. this day was originally virgin mary's blessing day but became known as avec crêpe day referring to the tradition of offering avec crêpes. it is believed that if you could catch the crêpe with a frying pan after tossing it in the air with your left hand and holding a piece of gold on your right, you would become rich that year.
