Many Christians consider that Jesus is the “Light of the World” and, therefore, it is appropriate that a candlelit procession precedes many worship services on this day. Many people will bring candles to church on this day to have them blessed, and they will be used throughout the year at home.
Candlemas focuses primarily on the early life of Jesus, beginning with Mary and Joseph presenting him at the temple 40 days following his birth. According to the Christian Scripture an old man named Simeon held the baby Jesus and proclaimed that he would be a light for the Gentiles. Simeon is also gives Christians a most favorite benediction “Lord, now let your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared for all peoples.”
