Candlemas
Candlemas, (pronounce Con-dull-Mass) is a Christian Holy Day marking the presentation of Jesus at the Temple and the Purification of Mary. In Ireland it is celebrated as Saint Brigid’s day a festival syncretized with the pre-Christian goddess, Brigid, associated with the spring season, fertility, healing, poetry and smithcraft.
On Candlemas, many Christians bring their candles to their local church, where they are blessed and taken home as a reminder of the Light coming into the world—a prayer of hope in dark days.
Bring your candles to be blessed on Candlemas, February 2nd, 5pm at House of Mercy. Plus, there will be pie after church! If you’d like to bring pie to share sign up here
