February
February, The word February comes from the word 'februa' - which means cleansing or purification, and reflects the rituals undertaken before Spring.
Having only 28 days in non-leap years, February was known in Welsh as 'y mis bach' - the little month.
February 2nd is Candlemas Day. This ancient festival marks the midpoint of winter, halfway between the shortest day and the spring equinox. In olden times, many people used to say that the Christmas season lasted for forty days - until the second day of February.
