We won't be able to make these beeswax candles to celebrate Candlemas, however you can order them and try them out for us! As we eat breakfast, we'll read Luke 2:22-40 as a family to remind the kids of the story of Simeon and Anna. Our Christmas decorations came down on Epiphany, but I'll still read this poem by Robert Herrick to the kids:
Down with the resemary and so
Down with bays and mistletoe;
Down with the holly, ivy, all
Wherewith ye dressed the Christmas hall...
We'll dine by candlelight tonight as we await the groundhog's weather prediction in the States.
If Candlemas be fair and bright,
Winter will take another flight.
But if Candlemas be clouds and rain,
Winter's gone and won't come again.
Winter will take another flight.
But if Candlemas be clouds and rain,
Winter's gone and won't come again.
We have clouds and rain this morning - that predicts more water in the rain tank and clothes that will take a little bit longer to dry on the clothesline.
