A friend asked if churches here celebrate Candlemas. Curious, I did a search and guess what I found?
Candlemas is the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. It's celebrated in most of Mexico on February 2. The date is directly related to Christmas, but in Mexico, it is seen as the end of the Epiphany season that began on January 6, known as the "day of the Three Kings."
In Spanish, it is Candelária. (Source: Wikipedia)
