Candlemas marks the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple and the purification of the Virgin Mary, forty days after the birth of Christ. It is also known as the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, where candles are blessed, symbolizing Jesus as the light of the world, and are often carried in procession to commemorate this event.
