Candlemas
Thursday, February 2
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. On Thursday February 2, 7pm, you are invited to our Candlemas 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. 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.
Sophronius, Sermon for Candlemas, AD 638 |
