The Presentation of Christ in the Temple commonly called
The Purification of Saint Mary the Virgin - HD (White)
Candlemas
The candles to be used in the church during the coming year may be blessed at the beginning of the liturgy, and hand candles distributed to the people are then lit, and a procession made into the church (if there is a procession then the introit is omitted). Hence, the old name for the day: “Candlemas”. If the Epiphany cré Che was not removed from the church after the last liturgy on the Octave Day of Epiphany it is removed after the celebration of Candlemas.Morning Prayer: Invit 10; Ps 45; 1 Sam 1:21-end; Heb 10:1-10; Coll 266
