The Meeting of the Lord in the Temple


This past Sunday we celebrated the
Presentation of the Lord in the Temple...
40 days after Christmas...
*
I love this icon of St. Symeon holding Christ
and Christ reaching for His Mother and His
Mother looking at Him so lovingly...


I also love that candles are blessed at this service...


It was such a joyful day
and a delightful feast!

    Do you also call this day Candlemas?

    I've heard it's also called Candlemas! I wish our parish would start doing this....what a nice tradition.
