Dear [subscriber:firstname | default:reader]
|
|
This Sunday we are celebrating the Presentation of Christ in the Temple which is also known as Candlemas. This marks the end of the Epiphany season and is followed by a couple of weeks of Ordinary time before Lent starts on Wed 17th Feb. In the church I attended growing up, the Christingle service was held at Candlemas rather than at Christmas and, for several years, a friend and I helped prepare the Christingles. I remember enjoying eating some of the dolly mixtures that we were meant to be putting on the ends of the cocktail sticks.
|
As the name suggests, traditions of Candlemas in various countries (including ours) involve candles, reminding us that Jesus is the Light of the World. So, this Sunday morning, why not light a candle as you join us for online worship?
