The Presentation of the Lord . . . and you yourself a sword will pierce. (Luke 2:35) Did you know that this day has several celebrations associated with it, including one that involves a large rodent? In the Church, today is the feast of the Presentation, the feast of the Purification of Mary, and even Candlemas, since it’s the day that churches traditionally bless their candles. Since the Middle Ages, it has also been observed as Groundhog Day. First for Pagans and, later, Christians, February 2 held a special significance as representing the crossing of seasons: when people turned from the weariness of winter and rejoiced in the approaching spring. Over time, Christian folklore developed a theory that if an animal—hedgehog, or groundhog for instance saw its shadow on the feast of the Presentation, spring would be six more weeks away. German immigrants brought this tradition to North America, where the groundhog became the weather prognosticator. In a sense, today’s Gospel reading reveals a similar shift for Mary. Still the first days of motherhood, she hears Simeon prophesy that a sword will pierce her heart. At that moment, she crossed from the joy of new motherhood to a deeper awareness of the sacrifices that awaited her. “Lord, guide me as I turn from the manger to the cross. May this Lent be a time of renewal.”

St. Blaise—Blessing of the Throats Saint Blaise was a doctor as well as a bishop in Armenia during the fourth century. It is believed that Blaise once healed a boy who was choking on a fish bone. Because of that, he is the patron of the sick, especially people with illnesses of the throat. It is an ancient custom to pray for the good health with a blessing of throats on his feast day. A priest or deacon touches the throat of each person with candles that were blessed on February 2, the feast of the Presenta on of the Lord, and makes the sign of the cross during the blessing prayer. BLESSING Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from every disease of the throat and from every other illness: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El día 2 de febrero la Iglesia universal celebra la Presentación del Niño Jesús en el Templo. La costum-bre judía dictaba que 40 días después del parto la madre debía ir al templo para ser purificada y jun-to con su marido ofrecer su hijito(a) a Dios. En la religión cristiana esta costumbre fue desarrollándo-se en la presentación de los niños en el templo, dejando en el olvido la purificación de la madre. En Málaga, España, la presentación de los niños se hace el día 2 de febrero cuando todos los niños bautizados durante el último año se presentan en la congregación de la Divina Pastora. En muchas partes de Latinoamérica los niños se presentan a los tres años de edad. Aunque no es un rito oficial de la Iglesia, muchas familias hispanas continúan esta práctica religiosa, presentando su hijo(a) a la comunidad parroquial durante la Misa dominical. El rito es uno de agradecimiento y consagración a Dios. El sacerdote bendice al niño pero es la tarea de los padres educarlos en lo que significa ser con-sagrado a Dios. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
