Feast of the Presentation of the Lord


Today is the Feast Day of the Presentation of the Lord.
The blessing and procession of candles (Candlemas) is also today. A summary can be read at Catholic Culture

* An article on 'Candlemas' over at New Advent has some good information. On the old church calendar this feast day use to be call 'Purification of the Blessed Virgin or Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple.

* A short Catholic encyclopedia entry on 'Holy Simeon'

* Also one on Anna the widow of the Temple.
