Candlemas Day
Celebrated by Christians around the world.
Candlemas Day, also known as the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, is a Christian celebration that commemorates the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. It is also a feast day that honors the purification of the Virgin Mary, as it marks 40 days after Jesus' birth. A key tradition is the blessing of candles, which symbolizes Christ as the "light of the world".
