Summary

Candlemas celebrates the Presentation in the Temple of the baby Jesus. Bequeathing to us the Nunc dimittis, the Prophet Simeon proclaimed Jesus to be the long-awaited Saviour, and prophesied that the child’s birth would have revolutionary effects, exposing the thoughts of the hearts of many, and that a sword would pierce the soul of his mother Mary. The Chaplain ponders the witness of Mary, who pondered all these things and more in her heart.

This Evensong is followed by dinner in Hall for all who have signed up beforehand; see Chapel mailing for details.
