JVS CHRISTMAS
HISTORY & TRIVIA.
DID YOU KNOW: If you want to celebrate the historical Christmas cycle, it extends even past the Baptism of the Lord. T
he Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated January 7 or January 8
.
Traditionally the feast of Candlemas (the Presentation of the Lord) occurs on February 2 and marked the final conclusion of the Christmas cycle.
This is because Candlemas celebrates an event that occurred 40 days after Jesus’ birth and was his first introduction to the Temple. In other words, it is the final “baby Jesus” feast day on the Church’s liturgical calendar.
We have several clients like to keep up the decorations until February 2.
Technically speaking, if you truly want to celebrate Christmas like Christians in ages past, you wouldn’t decorate the house until Christmas Eve and then keep everything up until February 2
