This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation, when Joseph and Mary took the baby Jesus to the temple to be presented to God. It's one of the oldest feasts in the Christian church and occurs on 2 February every year.
|
|
Another name for this feast is Candlemas and many Christians bring their candles to church that day, to be blessed.
|
|
In France, traditionally "la Chandeleur" is a day to eat pancakes, a tradition going back a long way.
