Happy Candlemas!

It's not Ground Hog's Day!  It's Candlemas.  How many times do I have to repeat that?  (Bill Murray movie reference.)

Have you seen the special U-shaped candle for the throat blessing. Cool!

No, I haven't. Technology. Truth is, I haven't had a "throat blessing" (with 2 crossed candlesticks) since the 1970s in Boston. Where I live now, Miami, the basically Hispanic Church here doesn't have the tradition. I don't know why.
