Happy Crêpe Day!

They don't celebrate Groundhog Day in Belgium. However, on the same day as Groundhog Day, they have what they call La Chandeleur. I looked up the translation and apparently it's called Candlemas in English. Anyway, it's something religious, but I don't know the actual reason. All I know is that, as with Groundhog Day, it's a mark of 'from this day on winter is either going to come to a close or continue for another month (is it a month? or two weeks? or two months? anyway.)'. And, even better, it's a day to make, and eat, crêpes.
