Most English-speaking people just associate the 2nd of February, or Groundhop Day, with superstitions related to the weather. In Acadian communities, however, it was known as Candlemas Day and at one time was an important religious and social festival. Pancakes were the symbolic food of choice. In many villages, young Acadians went from door-to-door collecting food for a communal feast or to give to the poor. This book by Georges Arsenault enables us to discover a festivity rich in traditions and a significant part of the cultural heritage of Acadians everywhere. | Acadian Traditions on Candlemas Day by Georges Arsenault, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
