la Fête de la Chandeleur
2015-03-01 15:00 - 18:00 | Bridgewater residence, 34 Black Snake Lane, Bridgewater, CT, 06752, United States
Due to inclement weather, this event was postponed. This is the updated information:
The Alliance Francaise of Northwestern CT (AFNWCT) will celebrate “la Fête de la Chandeleur” on Sunday March 1 at 3:00 pm in the Bridgewater home of one of their members. Also called Crêpe Day, la Chandeleur is a French holiday during which people traditionally eat crêpes and drink cidre (not to be confused with American apple cider; this beverage is only for people over 21!).
Though 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.
Participants will have an opportunity to try their luck with the Chandeleur coin ritual: if you can successfully flip a crêpe while holding a coin in your other hand, you and your family will not have to worry about financial problems.
Admission is $15 per person ($10 for members) and reservations are required by February 26.
