Today our deacon lead a lovely morning praise service at st leodegars, reminding us of candlemas (also known as the Feast of the Presentation). This marks the end of the 40-day Christmas and Epiphany season, with us celebrating Jesus' presentation in the Temple. It centers on the biblical story in Luke 2, where Simeon calls Jesus "a light to lighten the Gentiles," focusing on themes of light, prophecy, and the fulfillment of Christmas. We even sung Joy to the World, which although known as a christmas carol, truely fits with this theme.
Jo hutchinson gave us an engaging talk on the meaning of piety(sourced from Ely diocese), which linked in with todays readings.
