When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord”), and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.” Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Messiah. Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying, “Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” And the child's father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, “This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your own soul too.” Luke 2:22‭-‬35 NRSV-CI Hail Mary, full of grace, the LORD is with thee; blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. #ourladyofcandelaria #ourladyofthecandles #presentationofjesus #iloysangcandelaria #birhensangcandelaria #virgendecandelaria (at General Santos City) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWG_Gin-Hj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ztzk8esczybd

This is the famous Nuestra Señora Dela Candelaria (Our Lady of the Candles) or Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral. It is believed that the Lady of Candles brings protection and divine illumination to one’s path if the person asks for her help. I love the old architecture and it's murals inside. The lampposts outside reminds me during the heydays of Dr. Jose Rizal. If the lampposts can talk, it would tell you the weddings, funerals and baptisms that happened during the Spanish era.⁣⁣ ⁣ The centuries old image of Our Lady of the Candles stood at the church's facade where it can be reached through 32-step staircases at both sides. The statue faces the bellfry across the street. ⁣ ⁣ The church's belltower is separated. It is said that there used to be an underground passage beneath the belltower that would lead to its entrance in Casa Mariquit⁣. ⁣⁣ Lighting a candle is a challenge. The church has 2 box-type candle lighting area made of galvanized roof. The tin material becomes hot and burns you if you are not careful enough. Devotees would queue up and sometimes would take a while to place the candle because there isn't enough space. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #church #JaroCathedral #OurLadyoftheCandles #candles #Jaro #Iloilo #CityofLove #catholic #devotees #architecture #oldbuildings #romanesque #art #culture #heritage #SinoPinas #SiIloilo #redmaletatravels (at Nuestra Señora Dela Candelaria Parish Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIl4zdAwMd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v6vwd86g888h
