Candlemas as it is known in France, is honored on the 2nd day of February by eating Crepes!!!
The origination of this Catholic holy day was when Mary first presented her baby Jesus in the Temple 40 days after his birth.
I may even celebrate twice in one day!
(it sure beats ground hog day)

Lovely images, Roberta. I wonder where my crepe pan went?
I think this sounds like a great idea, Roberta. Love the picture of your mantel!
XO,

Love having something to look forward to!
Hi Roberta... what a beautiful post... your mantel looks just gorgeous... xoxo Julie Marie
I enjoy crepes any day and will embrace them February 2, but the tradition I know was to eat them on Shrove Tuesday, and especially to toss them. I still enjoy showing off that particular skill!
What beautiful photos roberta! I LOVE the idea of eating crepes on the 2nd, too bad I'm doing no carbs for a few weeks :( xoxo chris p.s. gorgeous images~
