This Sunday, we have the rare opportunity to celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of our Lord. This feast day falls on February 2, and when it falls on a Sunday, it trumps the normal schedule of Epiphany season lessons.  The Presentation of our Lord falls on the 40th day after Christmas and closes out the holy days marking the birth and childhood of Jesus. It is an English custom to keep the creche up until the Presentation, which is why we have done so here at St. Peter’s.
