The Swedish word for this day is a little old fashioned. It is Kyndelsmässodagen, where kyndel is originally the same word as candle. Mässa is, of course, the Swedish word for the mas written with one s in English. Dag is the Swedish word for day.
We do not celebrate Candlemas in any significant way. It is, however, Sunday this Candlemas, so we can all take it easy. This is good.
