#learningFrench: Happy 'chandeleur' from Marcel and the Petits Confettis! Do not forgot to FLIP your crepes with a COIN in your other hand! = prosperity for your family!! Thanks! But... What is the 'Chandeleur'?... Also called Crêpe Day, la Chandeleur is a French holiday during which people traditionally eat crêpes and drink 'cidre' (not to be confused with apple cider, this beverage is only for people over 21!).... Though la Chandeleur is often associated with the Catholic holiday of Candlemas, it actually stems from pagan traditions. While some say Chandeleur celebrates the return of sunny days (crêpes symbolize the sun), others say that making crêpes using flour left over from the harvest ensures prosperity in the coming year. And, of course, there is the traditional coin ritual: if you can flip a crêpe while holding a coin in your other hand, you and your family will not have to worry about financial problems. See more
