Candlemas Service of Light

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
St Alban Wickersley
Address
Church Lane Wickersley Rotherham, S66 1ES, United Kingdom

This is the last of our special liturgies for the advent to candlemas procession. A service of readings and music to allow us to think again of the time of Jesus' presentation in the temple when Mary and Joseph followed the Jewish religious practices for the birth of their first born son, and Jesus was recognised as the Saviour sent by God. Simeon, an old and devout man had been waiting for this day when God would reveal His Messiah, and knew through the Holy Spirit that this baby, Jesus, was the promised One.
