Yesterday was the first day of the month of February. We can call it the "First Day of February". But today is the fortieth day after Christmas, the day of the Purification, that is Candlemas. There are many traditions for the day. People took all their candles to church to be blessed. "Jesus is the light of the world." It was the first day of the farmers' year. And it was the last day of the servants' year. They received their pay (three pounds for "John of Ram's House"). And they could bargain for another year, or go to another employer. After three years, John went home to his wife (with nine pounds baked in a cake).
