02 February | Presentation of the Lord

At the end of the fourth century, a woman named Etheria made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Her journal, discovered in 1887, gives an unprecedented glimpse of liturgical life there. Among the celebrations she describes is the Epiphany, the observance of Christ’s birth, and the gala procession in honor of his Presentation in the Temple 40 days later. Under the Mosaic Law, a woman was ritually “unclean” for 40 days after childbirth, when she was to present herself to the priests and offer sacrifice—her “purification.” Contact with anyone who had brushed against mystery—birth or death—excluded a person from Jewish worship. This feast emphasizes Jesus’ first appearance in the Temple more than Mary’s purification.

The observance spread throughout the Western Church in the fifth and sixth centuries. Because the Church in the West celebrated Jesus’ birth on December 25, the Presentation was moved to February 2, 40 days after Christmas.

At the beginning of the eighth century, Pope Sergius inaugurated a candlelight procession; at the end of the same century the blessing and distribution of candles which continues to this day became part of the celebration, giving the feast its popular name: Candlemas.

: THE FUNNY SCENARIO IN ST. LAWRENCE'S MARTYRDOM

Mga bok at ter, today (August 10) we remember Saint Lawrence, deacon and martyr. Did you know that the said saint is also recognized by the Catholic Church as patron of comedians? What makes this fact surprising is that he earned that label because, even in the midst of his martyrdom, he still managed to crack a joke.

Lawrence was among the seven deacons who served Pope Sixtus II in Rome in the 3rd century. He was put in the crosschairs of the Roman Empire because of his belief that the Catholic Church possessed huge amounts of treasure. He was then questioned by a Roman official about the location of the Church's treasure. The response of the martyred saint: “Behold in these poor persons the treasures which I promised to show you; to which I will add pearls and precious stones, those widows and consecrated virgins, which are the Church’s crown.”

His clever answer was not received too well, putting him into prison. It did not take long for the Roman official to sentence the deacon to a brutal death, as he refused to worship the Roman gods. Based on the narration of the Golden Legend:

"The executioners therefore stripped him, laid him out on the iron grill, piled burning coals under it, and pressed heated iron pitchforks upon his body. And with a cheerful countenance [Lawrence] said to [the Roman official]: “Look, wretch, you have me well done on one side, turn me over and eat!”"

This comedic response made his executioners furious; hence, their decision to simply turn up the heat and let Saint Lawrence burn to death.

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘿𝙄𝙁𝙁𝙀𝙍𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙉:
𝙎𝙏. 𝙅𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙎 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙇𝙀𝙎𝙎 & 𝙎𝙏. 𝙅𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙎 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙂𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙏

Funny how some of us often feel a certain confusion when a feast of one of the St. James occurs. We would often ask, which James is this again?

To address this confusion, here are some of the points to consider for us to easily familiarize the unique characteristics of the two James Apostles of Jesus Christ.

𝙎𝙏. 𝙅𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙎 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙇𝙀𝙎𝙎 (𝙎𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙡𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙪𝙨)

• 𝙁𝙀𝘼𝙎𝙏 𝘿𝘼𝙔: May 3
• 𝘾𝘼𝙐𝙎𝙀 𝙊𝙁 𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙏𝙃: After being cast from the temple roof, Saint James the less was beaten to death with a fuller's club.
• 𝙎𝙔𝙈𝘽𝙊𝙇: Fuller's club
• 𝙋𝘼𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙂𝙀: Patron of hatters, pastry Chefs, the nations of Luxembourg, and Uruguay.

St. James the Less, the author of the first Catholic Epistle, was the son of Alphaeus of Cleophas. While serving Jerusalem's as first bishop, he was arrested and killed by the Jews.

𝙎𝙏. 𝙅𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙎 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙂𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙏 (𝙎𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙕𝙚𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙚)

• 𝙁𝙀𝘼𝙎𝙏 𝘿𝘼𝙔: July 25
• 𝘾𝘼𝙐𝙎𝙀 𝙊𝙁 𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙏𝙃: St. James the great was beheaded by the order of King Herod Agrippa I of Judaea
• 𝙎𝙔𝙈𝘽𝙊𝙇: Scalloped Shell
• 𝙋𝘼𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙂𝙀: Patron Saint of Hatmakers, Rheumatoid sufferers, and laborers.

St James, son of Zebedee and is often referred to as “the Greater” as a way of distinguishing him from the other apostle. He is recognised as the first apostle to be martyred.

Ngayong Hulyo 24, 2022, ating ipagdidiriwang ang ika-2 pandaigdigang araw ng mga lolo at lola at mga nakakatanda.

“Kailangang pangalagaan ang mga matatanda parang mga kayamanan ng sangkatauhan: sila ay ang ating karunungan, ang ating gunita. Mahalagang manatiling malapit ang mga apo sa kanilang mga lolo at lola, na tulad ng mga ugat kung saan sila kumukuha ng katas ng mga pantao at espiritwal na pamantayang asal.” –Papa Francisco

2nd World Day for GRANDPARENTS and the ELDERLY
"The elderly should be cared for like a treasure of humanity: they are our wisdom, our memory. It is crucial that grandchildren remain close to their grandparents, who are like roots from which they draw the sap of human and spiritual values." – Pope Francis
