Candlemas, the Feast of the Presentation of our Lord in the Temple in the Episcopal Church or Meeting of the Lord in the Orthodox Church. Read the whole story in the Gospel according to Luke (Luke 2: 21-38). A poem for the day: Nunc dimittis Now old Simeon can sing his song! This is the baby, this is the Lord! This is the King we have been waiting for, Now old Simeon can sing his song! Now old Simeon can sing his song: A baby - every mother's ordinary light of the world, But, my Lord, this is the Lord! Now old Smeon can sing his song! Now old Simeon can sing his song, Light and glory, salvation and heart-sword: This baby here - this is the Lord! Now old Simeon can sing his song!

Yes, it has been more than three years since we last posted . . . but Letters from Ascension Hermitage & Sanctuary is alive and well. Our driveway is full of fallen maple leaves and the pale green color on the back is the inspiration for the color of our cat rooms. The rooms are painted every two years or so, and 2024 is one of those years. I went to Lowe's and found the perfect paint match - the name of the paint is Luck Be a Lady. Sort of a strange name for paint, but it's a beautiful color, a complement to the seasonal colors through the windows and a color that cat eyes can see. The color reflects light and even matches some cat eyes - it's just a win/win all around! Check back in a few days - we'll keep posting, and hopefully have an update on the painted rooms!
