February 2 is known as Candlemas, which was an important holiday in medieval times. It celebrated the presentation of Jesus at the temple and the purification of the Virgin Mary, according to Christian tradition. Candlemas marked the end of the Christmas season and was associated with the blessing of candles and the anticipation of the coming of spring. It was also seen as an important day for predicting the weather and determining the agricultural prospects for the year ahead.

It's typically known as Candlemas, The Feast of Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, or the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin. It falls 40 days after Christmas, which is traditionally celebrated as Jesus' birth. So, 40 days later, Mary would have purified herself and presented him at Temple for "the redemption of the firstborn" to honor the law of Moses.
