Did you know that February 2, or 40 days after Christmas, is traditionally celebrated as Candlemas?
This feast commemorates the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple. In the Eastern Church, the feast is known as Hypapante, meaning “Meeting,” which highlights the encounter between the Holy Family, Saint Simeon, and the prophetess Anna, as described in Luke 2:22–38.
