Blessings of the Day

The Presentation in the Temple
Moscow School. Ca.1500.

Castle De Wijenburgh, Echteld, Netherlands, 72 x 61cm.

The Presentation in the Temple Ambrogio Lorenzetti, 1342 Panel, 257 x 168 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence

Check out Louis S. Glanzman's portrayal of Anna the Prophetess here.

I hope you are having a wonderful Candlemas today. And that you had a terrific Imbolc cum feast of St Bride/Brigid yesterday. (Padre Mickey tells of Brigid here, then goes off to shake his booty in Carnaval.)

Today is the natal festivity of someone very dear to me and I am off to have lunch with the birthday person.

May the prayers of the holy prophetess Anna and Simeon the God-receiver ascend on behalf of us all.
