A tradition that occurs on the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord is the blessing of candles; hence, it is also called Candlemas.  We will gather in the All Saints Chapel and bless the candles for use in the Cathedral for the following year.  We will also be blessing candles for the faithful to take home with them, which can be lighted before a Holy Icon in times of serious sickness or the threat of a storm to implore Divine Protection, as the family is gathered in prayer.
