The Catholic saint feast day on February 2 is the Presentation of the Lord, also known as Candlemas. This day marks the occasion when Mary and Joseph presented Jesus at the Temple in Jerusalem and is celebrated 40 days after his birth on January 6th (Epiphany). The day is also celebrated as the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary, which is the Catholic Church's liturgical feast that commemorates the presentation of Jesus at the Temple and the purification of Mary.
