Thank you for the information. I attended the Candlemas service at my church and got my candles, which the priest said that every Catholic home should have but did not explain WHY we should have them. Perhaps I was the only one in the congregation that didn’t know (I just was baptized and accepted into the fold in September).
I have printed out the information you posted regarding Candlemas and when we should burn them and will keep it for reference.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Candlemas service. Congratulations on becoming part of a faith community!
We can all be thankful for Salvation's faithful posting of information on threads like this and also the Catholic Daily Caucus threads. Here's wishing you a good week.
