Candlemas Day, or the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, is celebrated on February 2nd each year. This Candlemas Milestone Moment provides an opportunity for family and friends to gather together to celebrate Candlemas and the blessing of candles for use in the home for the rest of the year.

Candlemas is a traditional Christian festival that commemorates the ritual purification of Mary forty days after giving birth to Jesus as required by Jewish law. On this day Christians also remember the presentation of Jesus by Joseph and Mary at the Temple in Jerusalem. Christians hold Candlemas Day as a day of purification, renewal, and hope.

This Milestone Moment includes a Four Key Faith Practices outline which encourages growing in our faith by recognizing the home and family gatherings as church, too. A simple five-step structure is also included to establish a solid base for faith formation and development.

These pottery Rituals and Traditions Stone for Gifting are individually hand-crafted and available at a low cost to purchase and gift as meaningful reminders of this Milestone Moment. They are a wonderful keepsake to remind us that Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
