We held a special school worship to celebrate the feast of Candlemas today. Candlemas is also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Christ and celebrates the presentation of Jesus at the temple, as described in Luke 2:22-40. This is one of the oldest festivals in the Christian church. In many countries, it marks the end of the Christmas festivities and is when decorations are taken down. It is called Candlemas as it was also traditionally the day when all the church candles for the year were blessed.

This service was planned and led by the Year 2 Worship leaders who were very excited to share their ideas with everyone. It was lovely to welcome Revd Sam Follett, Laura-Anne and so many parents and carers on this occasion.
