Why Savoury Crepe Have Become Popular

Origin of Crepes

In France crêpes are traditionally served on the Christian Holiday Candlemas (La Chandeleur), on February 2nd In 472, Pope Gelasius I offered sacramental bread to French pilgrims that were visiting Rome for the Chandeleur. With time the sacramental bread was replaced by crêpes in France, and the day also became known as “Le Jour des Crêpes” (“The Day of the Crêpes”). The day is also celebrated by many as the day that marks the transition from winter to spring (similar to the North American tradition of Groundhog Day), with the golden color and circular shape of crêpes representing the sun and the circle of life.
