Candlemas & Crepes
|
Wednesday, January 26
7:00pm The celebration of Candlemas on the 40th day of the Christmas/Epiphany season, originated in the late fourth century as a day of light and hope. In some parts of Europe, such as France, people prepare and cook crepes to celebrate Candlemas. On Wednesday, January 26, 7pm, you are invited to our Candlemas and Crepes Celebration on Zoom. In this simple service of light and blessing, the candles to be used this year at Pathways Retreat will be blessed. You are welcome to gather your own candles to be blessed as well. Here’s a recipe for crepes for you to enjoy before or after the celebration. Join the celebration on Zoom by clicking here. |
Our bright shining candles are a sign of divine splendor of the one who comes to expel the dark shadows…to make the whole universe radiant with the brilliance of eternal light.
