Candlemas
In the Christian church, the celebration of the presentation of the infant Jesus and the post-childbirth purification of Mary in the Temple, in accordance with Jewish law. The Greek church calls it Hypapante ("Meeting") in reference to Jesus' meeting there with Simeon, to whom it had been revealed that he would not die before meeting the Messiah. The festival is first documented in Jerusalem in the late 4th cent.; the custom of observing it with lighted candles (the source of its name) dates to at least the mid-5th cent. See also Groundhog Day.
dandelion
Any of the weedy perennial herbaceous plants that make up the genus Taraxacum, in the composite family, native to Eurasia but widespread in much of temperate N. America. The most familiar species, T. officinale, has a rosette of leaves at the base of the plant; a deep taproot; a smooth, hollow stem; and a solitary yellow flower head composed only of ray flowers (no disk flowers). The fruit is a ball-shaped cluster of many small, tufted, one-seeded fruits. The young leaves are edible; the roots can be used as a coffee substitute.
