Candlemas

For the past few years, instead of celebrating Groundhog Day we have celebrated Candlemas.  This has traditionally been celebrated on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord.  The candles remind us during the dark and dreary days of winter that Christ is the Light of the world and spring is just a few weeks away.  Crepes or pancakes are also a traditional meal.  My kids never pass up a chance to have breakfast for supper!  The kids made candles that we hung on the windows and ate their pancakes by candlelight.
