Candlemas, Feast of the Presentation of the Lord- February 1st & 2ndList Item 1
Candle Blessing on Saturday, February 1st and Sunday, February 2nd. Bring your candles to the weekend Masses for the blessing.
February 2nd is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. Forty days after His birth, Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple for the rites of purification and dedication as prescribed by the Torah.
The Presentation of the Lord is a proclamation of Christ — Messiah and Priest, Lord and Savior. He is the light who came into this world to dispel sin and darkness. For this reason, traditionally at least since the seventh century, candles have been blessed at Mass this day that will be used throughout the year, hence coining the term “Candlemas.”
