Feb. 2, became known as the Feast of the Presentation

How many Roman Catholics remember going to Church on the Feast of Saint Blaze to get their Throats Blessed with special Crossed Candles???

Our pastor who retired three years ago did. He blessed all of us every Candlemas. Our interim pastor last year blessed our throats and had us bring candles from home to be blessed. New pastor was on retreat, I wonder if he will keep our Catholic traditions.
