For a most delicious Candlemas
We are fast approaching one of the most delicious days of the year: Candlemas!
Do you know where this popular holiday comes from? A little history before sharing our suggestions for the occasion.
This pagan festival formerly celebrated the end of winter and the return to the fields in fine weather. People ate pancakes symbolizing sunshine and prosperity for the coming year. Celebrated 40 days after Christmas, it takes its name from the candles traditionally lit for the occasion. To bring luck and success to the home, it was customary to clutch a gold coin in your left hand while flipping the first pancake with the other hand.
Combine Alain Milliat fragrances for a sublime Candlemas:
The tangy notes of Cox's Apple juice and pancakes topped with the spreadRefreshing Lemon-Lychee lemonade to accompany a crepe with wild blueberry jam
