<p>Inside the date filter, you use the date formatting values documented in the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php" rel="noreferrer">PHP date() documentation</a>.</p>

{{ entry.postDate | date("M d, Y") }}

Inside the date filter, you use the date formatting values documented in the PHP date() documentation.
Also, see Craft's DateTime documentation, and the Twig date() filter documentation for more information on the topic.
