Presentation of the Lord
February 2 at the Noon Mass
For Presenation of the Lord it is customary to bless the church's candles as well as parishioner's candles. When Jesus was brought to the Temple for Purification, Simeon said to him "A light for revelation to the Gentiles and the glory of your people Israel." In this sense, it is a symbol to bring Christ's light into the world. Bring your candles to be blessed for the year. There will also be a display of a representation of the Cathedral's candles.
