half their hay The hay is kept as a church festival by the Roman Catholic Church in memory of the purification of the Virgin Mary wno submitting to the law under which she lived presented the infant Jesus in the Temple Owing to the number of candles lit it is said in memory of Simeons song Luke a Light to lighten Gentiles etc this festival was called Can dlemas as well as the Purification is ascribed by to Pope in the fifth century The practice of lighting the churches was discontinued by English Protestants by an order of council VL but it is still continued in the Church of Rome so says
