The Feast of #Candlemas | #anglican #bookofcommonprayer #presentationofChrist

What is February 2nd all about? Is it about groundhogs or Jesus? In the church, we remember the presentation of Christ in the temple as well as the purification of Mary. This day also has a connection to blessing candles? Why is that?

Father Jeremiah explores these things as he explains the Feast of Candlemas to us today.
