Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple
(Vatican Radio) On the 2nd of February we mark the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple. To celebrate this day which is also dedicated to the World Day of Consecrated Life Monsignor Philip Whitmore shares with us a musical meditation.
Part of a series on the Joyful Mystery of the Rosary,in this meditation Monsignor Whitmore tells us how we celebrate this feast liturgically forty days after Christmas on Candlemas, when we process with lighted candles bearing witness before the world to the light of Christ.
In this programme you can listen to a setting of the Magnificat antiphon for the First Vespers of the Feast of the Presentation by Catholic composer in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, William Byrd.
