On the Presentation of the Lord
Msgr. Charles Pope, Community in Mission
Thursday, February 3, 2022
Yesterday we celebrated the Presentation, commemorating Simeon’s recognition of the infant Jesus as “a light for revelation to the Gentiles.” Thus, this feast has long featured the carrying of candles by the faithful in procession and the blessing of candles. For this reason, the feast is often called Candlemas.
