Candlemas, or the Feast of the Presentation, is celebrated on February 2nd, exactly 40 days after Christmas. According to tradition, pancakes, with their round shape and golden color, would symbolize the sun and mark the return of light after the dark days of winter. It is customary to flip the pancakes with a coin in hand to ensure prosperity and happiness throughout the year.
