Today we celebrate the Presentation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Temple, forty days after we have celebrated Jesus’ birth. Traditionally, on this day, the Church blesses candles that will be used at times of worship over the coming year—hence the traditional name for the day: Candlemas.
So: if you are coming to worship in person, consider bringing along any candles that you might light during special times of reflection in your home. And if you are joining us Online, you can have your own candles on hand as Blessing crosses time and space.
So, join us in person or online as we give our thanks and praise to God.
