Around the beginning of February Celts peasants having sown their wheat seeds could use part of the remainder as flour. The period was marked with celebrations to the gods. This tradition was adopted by the up-and-coming Christians, and the recipe, inexpensive and simple, held on.

la Chandeleur
It is traditional to cook crêpes for la Chandeleur.
la Chandeleur (Candlemas)
La chandeleur is officially celebrated on Feb 2. In real life there are no celebrations, except that it is a period for cooking crêpes.
It is also called "La Chandeleur" in French celebrated on February 2nd, a day when the French eat crepes, and a former pagan holiday later appropriated by the Church to celebrate the consecration of Mary forty days after the birth of Christ.
France uses pancakes as a symbol during the celebration of La Chandeleur, or Candlemas, which takes place on February 2nd. On this day, it's traditional to eat crêpes, symbolizing the end of winter and the arrival of spring. The act of flipping the crêpes is also associated with good fortune and prosperity for the coming year.
