Feb. 2nd: Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
Of the various Christian holy days that take place throughout the
year, Candlemass (or Candelaria), on February 2nd, may be one of
the least well-known ceremonies in the Christian world.
The celebration of Candlemass originated in the late fifth century as a
tribute to the light of God's glory that was manifested in Christ Jesus.
The earliest known observance within the Church was in the year AD
496, during the time of Pope Gelasius. In AD 542 the Emperor
Justinian ordained that the Eastern Church celebrate the festival,
which he called Hypapante, or "Meeting". The name was derived
from the Gospel of Luke 2:22-40, wherein Simeon the priest and
Anna the prophetess met the infant Jesus in the temple at the time of
his consecration. Simeon's prophecy declared Jesus to be the Lord's
salvation and "a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to
your people Israel." This passage continues to be the focus of the
celebration.
Note: Please bring your candles with you for the blessing.

First Friday, 11am-12pm
According to his Legendary Acts, while Blaise was being taken
into custody, a distraught mother, whose only child was choking
on a fishbone, threw herself at his feet and implored his
intercession. Touched at her grief, he offered up his prayers, and
the child was cured. Consequently, Saint Blaise is invoked for
protection against injuries and illnesses of the throat.
