Thursday, February 1
Time: 7pm Join us in-person or online 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. On Thursday February 1, you are invited to our Candlemas Celebration. 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. |
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.
Sophronius, Sermon for Candlemas, AD 638 |
