Today Candlemass - It will be very cold here at Tuta Vallis

            The area is the old cemetery at the former Cistercian monastery located here
Tvis Abbey (Danish: Tvis Kloster; Latin: Tutta vallis) is a former Cistercian monastery in Denmark. It was situated a few kilometres south of Holstebro in Jutland, on a small island between the Storå and the Tvis Å rivers.

The abbey was founded in 1163 by Prince Buris as a daughter house of Herrevad Abbey in Scania (now in Sweden), with a substantial endowment of property round the town of Holstebro. The abbey was dissolved during the Reformation, probably in 1547.
The abbey church, which served as a parish church, was demolished, apparently in 1698, after which a replacement was set up in the west wing, but that too was demolished after the construction of a new parish church in 1887. Today there are no visible remains apart from the foundations
Kyndelmisse 2. februar eller Kørmes (Kyndelmisse betyder kertemesse eller lysenes messe) er den dag, der i følge folketraditionen markerer at halvdelen af vinteren er gået. Så på den tid skulle gerne halvdelen af vinterforrådet være tilbage da der ellers kunne blive mangel på mad til både dyr og mennesker inden vinteren var ovre.
 Dagen er ikke længere officiel helligdag i Danmark,Struense bestemte nemlig 1770 at Kyndelmisse skulle afskaffes som helligdag. Men alligevel er den dog blevet ved med at være en dag mange kender til, bl.a. på grund af Kjørnes Knud i Jeppe Åkær's sang fra 1916 "Sneflokke kommer vrimlende".
I katolsk tid fjeredes dagen med en lysfest, hvor de kirkelys der skulle anvendes i det kommende år blev velsignet. 
Festen var til minde Marias renselse og Jesus fremstilling i Templet.
Ifølge Moseloven var en kvinde uren efter et barns fødsel, 80 dage efter en pige, og 40 dage efter en dreng. Når denne tid var gået, skulle hun i Templet ofre et lam og en due, hvorefter hun af præsten blev erklæret for ren. I følge en anden bestemmelse i Moseloven var alle første fødte drengebørn indviet til Herrens tjeneste, og Jesus blev derfor, som det var skik fremstillet i Templet. 
Det er denne dobbelte begivenhed kirken fejre på denne dag, den fyrretyvende dag efter jul. Når man netop på denne dag har valgt at fejre lyset, hænger det sammen med at Lyset jo er et billede på Jesus Verdens Frelseren, Verdens Lys, hvem den gamle Simeon i Evangeliet priser som Lys til hedningernes oplysning.
