February 2: “Today, the Church remembers and thanks God for the Purification of Mary and the Presentation of Our Lord. They brought the offering of the poor. They could only afford the turtledoves. Yet, even as they purchased the offering and entered the temple precincts, they knew that the real offering was not the birds, but the babe. He would be the Offering to end all offerings. In Him, the Law would be fulfilled.” Will Weedon
Also on this day I put away the very last of the Christmas decorations. We had to put off our traditional crepes until the following Saturday. In lieu of Saturday morning pancakes we had our traditional Candlemas crepes. I’ll never understand how the kids can eat 3 and then be “stuffed.” What?
