Trivia
- Candeloro is an Italian male name. The feminine name would be Candelora.
- The Name derives from a medieval tradition given to children born on the day of the Christian holiday of Candlemas, or "feast of candles." It is similar to the Spanish name Candelaria.
- It is a common name in South Italy, it is particularly popular in Sicily and Puglia.
- Candelora is a religious feast, it is celebrated in February 2, when the Catholic church celebrates the "Presentazione del Signore" (Presentation of Our Lord). Formerly called the "Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary", it is now popularly called the feast of Candelora.[1]
- In English-speaking countries where the feast of Candelora is known as Candlemas Day (or Candle Mass).
- There is a practical connection to the religious symbolism. February 2 is a cross-quarter day, halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. For millenia, people in the Northern Hemisphere have noted that if the sun comes out at the mid-way point between winter and spring, winter weather would continue for another six weeks. As one might imagine, for humans living a subsistence existence the difference was an important one, with implications for survival as well as hunting and crops.
- In North America on February 2, it is Groundhog Day.
