The '''Feast of the Presentation of the Lord''', also known as Candlemas, is a [[feast]] in the [[Roman Rite]] of the [[Catholic Church]] that commemorates the presentation of the infant [[Jesus]] in the [[Temple in Jerusalem]] by Mary and Joseph, forty days after his birth, as recounted in [[Luke 2:22–40]]. Celebrated on February 2, it concludes the [[Christmas]] season in the [[liturgical year]] and emphasizes Jesus as the "light to the nations" through the prophecy of Simeon. According to the [[General Roman Calendar]], this observance falls at the transition to [[Ordinary Time]], inviting reflection on obedience to the Law, purification, and messianic fulfillment, while serving as a bridge between the [[Incarnation]] and the Lord's public ministry. | The '''Feast of the Presentation of the Lord''', also known as Candlemas, is a [[feast]] in the [[Roman Rite]] of the [[Catholic Church]] that commemorates the presentation of the infant [[Jesus]] in the [[Temple in Jerusalem]] by Mary and Joseph, forty days after his birth, as recounted in [[Luke 2:22–40]].
