The Christmas Season comes to a close with Candlemas, which is the "Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary," on February 2. Only a few weeks later (this year on February 17) we celebrate Septuagesima Sunday and start preparing for Lent. Following are some reflections on these two important feasts, one that closes the Easter Season, and one that begins our preparation for Advent and the season of Lent.
