Today being Candlemas, or the feast of the Presentation, it is the last official day of the Epiphany season, which is the end of Christmas, no matter what calendar you follow or what state of denial you exist in. Therefore it is a good day to post this poem that I wrote over Christmas. I wanted to post it during Christmas, but neglecting to do so, I say better late than never. At the Christmas vigil Fr. Mark gave a homily about Bethlehem, in which he said that Bethlehem means "house of bread" and compared it to the Bread of Life. It was such a beautiful and fitting comparison that I had to write a poem about it.
Happy Candlemas!
