Best Answer

The catholic "Mariä Lichtmess" (2nd February - Candlemas) is nearly unknown in Germany. Candlemas is a traditional Christian festival that commemorates the ritual purification of Mary 40 days after the birth of her son. It is called Candlemas because that was the day on which the year's supply of candles for the church were blessed.
