The Presentation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Temple

The Holy Eucharist will be celebrated at 7:00 pm on Thursday, February 2 in observance of the Presentation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Temple. This great feast day calls to mind an early event in the life of Jesus. Other traditional names for this day include the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Candlemas. The Holy Gospel according to Luke tells us that the aged Simeon took the young Child Jesus in his arms and praised God, saying,
      “Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.”
      Because Simeon discerned Jesus as “a light for revelation to the Gentiles,” and because Jesus is the Light of the World, it is the custom in many places to bless the candles which will be used throughout the year at this service, hence the additional name of Candlemas.
