Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
WORLD DAY for CONSECRATED LIFE
FEBRUARY 2ND 2026
The Celebration of the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as the Purification of Mary or Candlemas.
The Feast of February 2, which has been given back its ancient name, the Presentation of the Lord, should also be considered as a joint commemoration of the Son and of the Mother, if we are fully to appreciate its rich content. It is the celebration of a mystery of salvation accomplished by Christ, a mystery with which the Blessed Virgin was intimately associated as the Mother of the Suffering Servant of Yahweh, as the one who performs a mission belonging to ancient Israel, and as the model for the new People of God, which is ever being tested in its faith and hope by suffering and persecution (cf. Lk. 2:21-35).
