Matka Boska Gromniczna (Our Lady of Thunder) by Piotr Stachiewicz (1911-1912)

In rural Poland it was believed that during the winter the Blessed Virgin protects people and wolves from each other.

On February 2nd Catholics celebrate the Presentation of Jesus Christ in the Temple - the day when Simeon heralded Christ as "a light for revelation to the Gentiles". As the Light enters the Temple, Catholics bless candles that bring light into darkness. The Christmas season is over.

My grandma used to light her blessed candle (gromnica) during storms and pray, asking the Blessed Virgin for intercession, for her house to be saved from lightning.

People say that on the day of Presentation/Candlemas/Matki Boskiej Gromnicznej the Blessed Virgin wakes up the first lark and we start our journey towards spring.

But when God stretches out His hand to ask, His hand is never empty, and His intimate friends can draw the strength and courage they need.
