DESCRIPTION:A choral service by an augmented choir will be held at 6.30pm 
 on Sunday 2nd February to celebrate Candlemas. There will be readings and 
 hymns and then the service will conclude with the singing of the ancient p
 lainsong setting of Compline.\nCandlemas is an ancient festival which mark
 s the midpoint of winter\, halfway between the shortest day and the spring
  equinox. It commemorates the purification of Mary forty days after the bi
 rth of her son Jesus. It is also the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus Ch
 rist in the Temple\, based on the account in Luke 2:22-40. It was the Jewi

 e presented to God by his thankful parents. It is also officially the end 
 of the Christmas cycle.\nDo join us for this contemplative service.
