Candlemas – Sunday 2nd February

10.30am Circuit Service at Quaystone Chapel – Connah’s Quay.

Today is Candlemas, which marks 40 days since Christmas. This period (‘Old Christmas’) is equivalent to the 40 days of Lent. On Candlemas, Christians recall the presentation of the baby Jesus at the Temple in Jerusalem by his parents, Mary and Joseph. (This despite the quirk of our Lectionary regime of readings that has already launched Jesus into his adulthood and ministry.) Read more about Candlemas, and suggested hymns, at Marking Candlemas.
