On Candlemas - 2 February - one lights candles and eats "crêpes" to celebrate the farmers' return to the fields. It is traditional on this day for every person to flip a crêpe while holding a frying pan in one hand and a gold coin in the other. This will hopefully bring riches in the coming year! Crêpes are also eaten on Mardi Gras.
