Candlemas is celebrated on the 2nd of February each year.
February 2nd is exactly 40 days after the birth of Jesus Christ and it is on this day that Mother Mary along with Joseph brought forth their newborn son, Jesus, to the Temple.
During the early years, people would place their candles outside the church in order to be blessed.
At present, Candlemas became one of the most celebrated festivals in Latin America. Dancing, music, parades, and fireworks can be expected. Everyone gets garbed in costumes and parties away their inhibitions throughout the day.
