It's a party which is celebrated in honor of the Virgen de la Candelaria, Virgin found in Tenerife, an island of Spain, which was derived from the candlestick or candle that refers to the holy light, which guides to the right path, salvation and intensifies the faith in God.

It is the day when the Christmas period ends because 40 days have passed after celebrating Christmas, the birth of Christ, and is when it is presented the Baby Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem.

This party is called in different parts of the world with names like: The Presentation of the Lord, The festival of Candles or The Festival of Light; where Christ is the light of the world who came to enlighten all as a candle and who was introduced by his mother to the temple, this is where the name of the Candelaria arises.
