When I was reading about it, it seemed like Catholics celebrated Candlemas, Episcopalians celebrated Candlemas...but I guess Protestants don't...except that Episcopalians are kind of Protestant...? *shrug* Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-63124156467688149402018-02-03T10:45:38.859-05:002018-02-03T10:45:38.859-05:00Forty days after Christmas, right?
