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

Here is a #simpleimbolcritual that can be done in a group or solitary in order to channel the fresh beginnings slowly taking shape in your life and the earth under your feet. If you also wish to trade out the goddess-approach with ancestral acknowledgment, that’s fantastic too!

Christmas, the New Year and Epiphany are over and done with - now cometh the long slog until Valentine's Day.
The story of the Wise Men from the East was always my favorite bit.

Brigid’s Cross Tutorial
"In Ireland #Candlemas (or pagan #Imbolc) is celebrated as St Brigid’s feast day. It’s a holiday where the returning of the light and the nature after the dark winter is celebrated. A typical symbol for this holiday is the Brigid’s cross (or Brigit’s cross), a four-ended cross made of straw or rushes, with a knotted pattern in the middle. Traditionally the crosses are made on the holiday and set over doorways and windows to protect the home from fire or any kind of harm.
There are many different variations of Brigid’s crosses. The Brigid’s Cross tutorial I’m showing here is the most common."

Today's #grandma recording was about a #custom her family would perform on #Candlemas/#Lichtmess: They would cut pieces of candles from a wax taper ("Wachsstock"/"Kerzenstock"), stick them on a piece of wood and would leave them outside, to harden. Then they would get them in, light them up, do three high-speed rosaries ("Rosenkranz") and go with the burning candles into the cowshed and blow out the candles. The burnt wick ("Docht") would then go in the soup.

Happy #Imbolc ( #Celtic #Pagan ), #Candlemas ( #catholic ), St. Brigids day( #Irish catholic), #Setsubun ( #japanese ). 4 holidays most Americans are oblivious to, and just know it as groundhog day. Days when the Ewes started to give milk, people would get their plows blessed and related to pagan rituals in both rome and Celtic regions. The points between the solstices similar Samhain (halloween), Beltain (may day) and Lammas,
In Catholic Europe its mostly catholic #pancake ( #crepes in france) day as it symbolizes the sun. In Mexican tradition its tamales.
Setsubun is a day where you throw beans either adzuki red beans or roasted soy beans depending the region at someone dressed as an oni (japanese ogre) as a way to send bad luck out of your house and eat unsliced sushi rolls for long life, along with other foods depending on the region.
So have some pancakes or crepes for breakfast, and tamales for lunch and some sushi for dinner, maybe the groundhog will bring you some magic beans to throw at the oni for luck. -

This #SilentSunday, two pics from my morning walk back home from church.
In spite of the sunshine, it was much colder than I expected - thus hardly any people around...
