Candlemas is a Christian holiday celebrated on February 2nd that marks the midpoint between the winter solstice and spring equinox. It commemorates the presentation of Jesus at the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and the purification of his mother Mary.
Candlemas derives its name from the practice of blessing and distributing candles for use in homes and churches during the coming year. The holiday has roots in ancient pagan traditions of purification and the first signs of spring. In many cultures, it marks the transition from winter to spring.
