The feast celebrated both the Presentation of the Lord, and the Purification of Mary celebrated 40 days after Christmas Day. The Gospel of Luke recalls Mary and Joseph taking the child Jesus for his first visit to the temple in Jerusalem.
This feast is also known as Candlemas because of the tradition of blessing and distributing candles and holding a candlelight procession on this day.
