*Luke 2:22-24 tells us about the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, the feast for today. This was traditionally Candlemas, a day to bless the candles to be used for sacred purposes for the rest of the year, and a traditional day to enter the Church. Here we see Mary and Anna blessing the child and the couple, recognizing Jesus the Light coming back to the Temple.
