Trndez
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Trndez (also Tyarndarach and Candlemas Day) is a feast of purification in the Armenian Apostolic Church and Armenian Catholic Churches, celebrated 40 days after Jesus's birth.[1] The two churches celebrate this on different days, the 13th (with celebrations on the eve of the 14th) and the 2nd of February.[2] The celebration of the Trndez is pagan in origin and is originally connected with sun/fire worship in ancient pre-Christian Armenia, symbolizing the coming of spring and fertility.
