Candlemas (February 2nd), that quiet pause in winter when the days begin to stretch just a little longer, and the world, still wrapped in cold, hints at the warmth to come. It’s a day of light, when candles are blessed and the dark corners of the season start to retreat.
For those of us here in France, it’s a tradition to make crepes to celebrate the day.
We decided to skip the flipping and go for a baguette, cheese, and jam. No fanfare, just the quiet pleasure of good food and the soft, winter light.
But beneath the crepes and the rituals, it’s a moment to remember that light, both literal and symbolical, always returns.
