February 2 - Candlemas

   Posted on February 2, 2022


This is an update of my post published on February 2, 2011:







This day is a Catholic feast day—often a day in which the priest blesses one's candles, hence the name—but it is also a special day for Pagans, midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. In some traditions, it is the first day of spring, and for many people around the world, it is known as Pancake Day.

First day of Spring?


Enjoy Candles!
