Candlemas is easily one of my favorite holidays of the Church year. This year was delightful. I am afraid I only have pictures of some of the candles and not all the pageantry. This year, the Feast of the Presentation was also a Sunday and was the Sunday that we celebrate the consecrated religious of our Dioceses. The Bishop blessed the candles and led a candlelit procession with all the religious men and women being honored this year. It was wonderful
For our part, I have gotten into the habit of only making the candles we need at a time, and getting them blessed, as needed. For Candlemas, I made sure to make our Advent candles and our Easter candle for this year.
We even got out the fancy self-fitting mold maker to fix the ends so they fit our advent wreath a little better.
