DESCRIPTION:

Candlemas, the "Purification of the Blessed Virgin" or the "Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple," occurs forty days after Christmas on the second of February.

According to the Mosaic (Hebrew) Law, a mother who has given birth to a male child is considered unclean for seven days; moreover, she is to remain three and thirty days "in the blood of her purification;" for a female child, the time of exclusion doubles. When the time (forty or eighty days) is over, the mother was to "bring to the temple a lamb for a holocaust and a young pigeon or turtle dove for sin" to sacrifice; if she is unable to offer a lamb, she is to take two turtle doves or two pigeons; With these offerings, the priest would pray for her, and she is considered cleansed. (Leviticus 12:2-8)

Forty days after the birth of Christ, Mary complied with the law. She redeemed her firstborn at the temple (Numbers 18:15) and was purified by the prayer of Simeon in the presence of Anna the prophetess (Luke 2:22). Candlemas marks this event.
