I've got date as string '2020-02-10 8,00' which I want to convert into Monday, 10th of February. I'm aware of this old topic however I cannot find (or use) any related information.

All I have is just parsed string to date - Date.parse '2020-02-10 8,00'

You are halfway there! Date.parse '2020-02-10 8,00' produces a ruby Date object, as you have noted. You now have to apply strftime. However strftime doesn't have any ordinalization so that piece has to be done manually.

date = Date.parse('2020-02-10 8,00')

date.strftime("%A, #{date.day.ordinalize} of %B") #=> Monday, 10th of February

the ordinalize method is provided by ActiveSupport.
