Thursday February 2 sees the feast of Candlemas - the more popular name for the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. You can read about this in Saint Luke's Gospel, chapter 2, verses 22 to 40. The service begins with a blessing of candles and a procession, because of the proclamation by Simeon that Jesus is the light of the world. A festival Sung Mass follows and there will be refreshments after. Fr Colin Pearson, our fulltime area dean for Salford & Leigh deanery will be our preacher.
