the one who was, and is, the light

In the story we remember on Candlemas, 
it says that many, many years before Jesus himself told people, "I am the light," 
a man named Simeon said that Jesus would be a light to the People of God 
and to everyone else, too. 


And so even though this is a green week in the church calendar,


today the color is white.

    Is this the YWC story or did you tell your own? (We don't have a GP story in German for Candlemas.) I also used a white underlay for our Candlemas story.: ) Your Simeon and Anna figures are great! Can you post a close-up picture of them?

    I agree with Sheila! Post more details! It never even occurred for me to do a Candlemas story, which isn't heard of much in Episcopal churches - at least none of the ones I've been associated with. Tell more! What is the picture of on the underlay?
