Fr. Kelly: The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (February 2nd)
On Wednesday, February 2nd, the Church will celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. This commemorates the moment when Our Lady and St. Joseph, 40 days after the birth of Christ, brought Him to the Temple in Jerusalem in accordance with the Law of Moses, which prescribed that every firstborn male in Israel had to be consecrated to God forty days after birth. This was done in remembrance of the firstborn sons being preserved from death on the night of the Passover during the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt. The feast began to be celebrated as early as the 4th century, and was originally celebrated 40 days after Epiphany, but was primarily a celebration only observed in the Eastern Church. Around the 7th century, the feast began to be celebrated in the West. It was at this time that the feast became associated with a candlelit procession and, eventually, the blessing of candles, a tradition which was inspired by the Gospel of the day when Simeon, upon seeing the Christ child, refers to Him as a light for revelation to the Gentiles. Hence, the feast is traditionally called ‘Candlemas’ and traditionally marks the end of the Christmas season (which is why our Christmas trees are still up in church!). Originally, this feast was called ‘the Purification of Mary.’ Even though Mary was preserved by God from the stain of Original Sin, as a Hebrew mother she chose to submit to the Law of Moses, and therefore offered a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, which was prescribed in the Law. Mary’s humble offering of love was a sign of her prompt obedience to God’s law and commands, and was seen as an act of ‘purification’ of one’s heart to love God more fully. At Mass on Wednesday, I will bless all of our new altar candles, votive candles, as well as some boxed candles that will be available to be taken home. If you have ordinary candle holders (like ones you would be on the dinner table), you can place these blessed candles in them. It is a good, devout, pious practice to light the candles when the family gathers together for prayer, such as for the Holy Rosary or night prayers before bed. As we celebrate this feast this week, let us remember that Christ is the Light to our darkness, that in the midst of turbulent times, He will be our guiding star to lead us to safe shores, namely, the eternal shores of Heaven!
