Candlemass is an old name for a Catholic Feast. IIRC it is the Feast of the Circumcision, but I could be wrong.

A bit of advice...if you got the St. Bonaventure reprint, go through and make a note of where Complines, Matins, etc. are on the first or back page. In the long run, he most annoying thing about that book will be not having a table of contents. [/quote]
Candlemas is, in fact, Groundhog Day.

I ain't foolin'. It goes something like this:

Blessing Candles
Welcoming light
Welcoming spring
Is spring coming?
Rodent consultation on impending spring.

Yeah.

I know.

One of those odd things that turned into something even more odd.

/off to get his throat blessed next St. Blaise's day.

I thought Groundhog Day was made up by drunken Germans who carried the joke a little too far.
