Presentation of Christ in the Temple / Candlemas (Online Holy Communion)

for 4 days, 15 hours
The season of joyful celebration that began at Christmas now reaches its conclusion with the Feast of the Presentation in the Temple (Candlemas).

The child who has been manifested to the magi at his birth is now recognised by Simeon and Anna, when he comes to be presented in the Temple according to the Law of Israel.

He is both 'a light to lighten the Gentiles' and 'The glory of God's people Israel'.

Our readings today come from Malachi 3:1-5, Hebrews 2:14-18, and Luke 2:22-40.

Our hymns today are 'Like a candle flame' and 'Hail to the Lord who comes'.

A service booklet to accompany this service can be downloaded below.
