February 2 marks the Feast of the Purification, also called Candlemas. This feast day, the fortieth day after Christmas, commemorates the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple at Jerusalem. There, two aged prophets, Simeon and Anna, recognized him as the newborn Messiah (Luke 2:22-39). The blessing of candles and candlelight processions are traditional on this day.
