SUMMARY:First Choral Evensong of Candlemas with Procession
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the First Choral Evensong of Candlemas\, featuring a beautiful candlelit procession. \nDuring the service\, candles will be lit for the congregation\, and all will be invited to follow the choir and ministers in procession into the Nave of the Cathedral. \nJust as Advent begins with a candlelit procession\, so Candlemas marks the close of the season with light.

SUMMARY:Sung Eucharist | The Festival of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (Candlemas)
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the Festival of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (Candlemas)\, with beautiful music from the Cathedral Choir. \nThe feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple\, or Candlemas\, is the final feast day in the season of Epiphany. This feast lands on 2 February\, falling exactly 40 days after Christmas\, and brings to a close the full celebration of Jesus’ infancy narratives from Christmas through the Epiphany season. It is the final Epiphany when Jesus is revealed as the “light for revelation to the Gentiles” and our Saviour. \nThis scene is depicted in a window by C.E. Kempe & Co. in the Cathedral’s South Aisle. (Photo courtesy of Iona Art Glass.) \nCandlemas marks the turning point of the Christian Year. It is the point where we stop\, looking back on the celebrations of Jesus’ coming at Christmas and looking forward\, moving towards Jesus’ passion. We turn from birth towards death and resurrection. We turn not simply from cradle to cross but from cradle through the cross to the empty tomb\, already visible\, albeit dimly\, through the darkness still to come. \nThis service will also be live-streamed via our YouTube channel. \nClick here for our weekly Services & Music schedule.

With four million members across 84 countries\, Mothers’ Union serves people of all faiths and backgrounds through practical action\, prayer\, and advocacy. \nThe Diocese of Newcastle was among the first to welcome Mothers’ Union shortly after its own founding in 1882.

Before or after the service\, the group meets at Café 16 in the Cathedral refectory for fellowship and conversation. \nIf you would like to join them or find out more\, please contact the Revd Anne Marr\, Chaplain to the Mothers’ Union in Newcastle Diocese\, at chaplain@munewcastle.org.uk \n \nRead all about Mothers’ Union Newcastle’s 150th anniversary celebrations here. \n
