The first feast of the month is The Feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (also known as Candlemas), where we celebrate when Joseph and Mary presented the infant Jesus in the temple 40 days after his birth. We remember Simeon and Anna's powerful moments with the child and Jesus being recognized as the "Light of the World."
