Candlemas is the Christian feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, described in the Gospel of Luke. Forty days after his birth, Mary and Joseph brought the infant Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem, in keeping with Jewish law, and there Simeon and the prophetess Anna recognised him. The Catholic Church long called it the Purification of Mary, and the Eastern churches call it the Meeting of the Lord, from the meeting of Simeon with the child.
The name Candlemas comes from the blessing of candles on the day, a ritual that symbolises Christ as the light of the world, from Simeon's words that he would be a light for the Gentiles. In France the day is La Chandeleur and crêpes are made, and according to tradition they bring luck for the year if the cook flips one with a coin in the other hand. The German name is Mariä Lichtmess. In Liechtenstein, 2 February is a public holiday and church services include the blessing of candles.
