Tomorrow is Candlemas Day, also known as the Festival of Light.
February 2 marks the midpoint of winter, half way between the shortest day and the spring equinox.
For Christians it has a particularly special meaning as it was 40 days after the birth of Jesus and the day when, according to Jewish custom, his grateful parents took him to the temple to give thanks to God. We believe that Jesus is the light of the world who will guide us through our own dark times.
