Happy #Candlemas! 40 days after Christmas, Candlemas is when Christians remember Jesus being taken to the Jewish Temple as a baby. Church candles are often blessed at Candlemas. It’s also when any decorations which are still up REALLY need to come down! https://www.whychristmas.com/customs/when-christmas-is-celebrated#candlemas

Today, 2 February, is Candlemas. As well as being a Christian holy day, it is one of the four Scottish Quarter Days, when rents were due.
The Scots poem “At Candlemas” by Marion Angus (1865–1946) is a typically unsentimental look at how swiftly youth turns to old age:

Today is Gŵyl Fair y Canhwyllau (Mary's Festival of the Candles), which is celebrated on Candlemas Day in Wales. 🕯️
Marking the gradual change from winter to spring, people lit candles, and in some homes, "every pane in the kitchen was illuminated in this way."

"Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace:
Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum
Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum:
Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel." (Luc 2:25–32)🇫🇷 Ce cantique, appelé cantique de Syméon est chanté par des milliers de moines à travers le monde chaque soir pendant les complies (le dernier office avant le grand silence de la nuit) mais aussi en ce 2 février pour la fête de la présentation de Jésus au temple plus connue sous le nom de "Chandeleur", fête des chandelles. Mélange entre religieux et paganisme, il y a énormément de symbolique derrière cette fête. Elle se tient 40 jours après Noël (encore un symbole avec le chiffre 40) et les crêpes dont nous allons nous régaler symbolisent le soleil qui vaincra l'hiver et son obscurité tout comme Jésus est la lumière et le sauveur du monde pour les chrétiens. Quelque soient vos convictions, régalez-vous et passez un bon lundi! 👋
traduction liturgique en français : "Maintenant ô maître souverain, tu peux laisser ton serviteur en paix, selon ta parole. Mes yeux ont vu le salut que tu préparait à la face des peuples, lumière qui se révèlent aux nations et donne gloire à ton peuple, Israël"
🇬🇧 This Canticle, known as Canticle of Symeon is sung every evening during the Complines (last prayer of the day before the great silence) by thousands of monks around the world but on February 2, for the day of Presentation of Jesus at the temple. In some countries, the feast is also known as "Candlemas" and pancakes are eaten. All this is a mix of Christianity and paganism as the pancakes symbolise the Sun who wins over the darkness of winter just like Jesus is the light and the saviour of the world for the Christians. It takes place 40 days after Christmas. (Another symbolic number). So, whatever are your convictions, enjoy the pancakes and have a good Monday! 👋
Translation (English Protestant) of the Canticle :
"Lord, you now have set your servant free to go in peace as you have promised;
For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior,
whom you have prepared for all the world to see:
A Light to enlighten the nations, and the glory of your people Israel."#traditions #spirituality #spiritualité #chandeleur #candlemas #photoMonday
