February 2nd is the feast of the Presentation of the Lord Jesus in the Temple. It commemorates Simeon’s famous prophecy that Jesus would be a “light of revelation to the Gentiles.” It is also known as Candlemas since it is the day that candles are blessed for use throughout the Church year.

CANDLEMAS, CANDLES & LIGHT
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
Re: CANDLEMAS, CANDLES & LIGHT
A special day for us all.
I purchased a wonderful candle today for the event and I hope Fr doesnt mind that it will be different from those handed out, but it caught my eye and with the event 'around the corner' I thought it was a fitting sign.
