The feast of the Presentation of the Lord (February 2) also celebrates the Rite of Purification. Forty days after the birth of Jesus, His virginal Mother went to the Temple to fulfill this rite, for which she had no need, but to which, in her humility, she submitted because it was one of the requirements of the Jews.
The purity of Mary is recalled by the lily and by candles of pure beeswax. A wreath of roses appears in the background
