This is the night when the witches mock the rituals of the church and sacrifice a virgin. But where on earth does one find one?
You can learn more about Candlemass Eve in the 1960 film "The City Of The Dead," or, as it is known by its American title, "Horror Hotel." That is a film to be watched and cherished, but the day for that is March 3, commemorating the stake burning of Elizabeth Selwyn, back in 1692.
We are not doing anything witchy this Candlemass Eve, unless one counts watching "Svengoolie" as such.
For those unfortunate virgins out there, please watch yourselves, and place a cross on the doorway of your residence tonight, to keep you safe.
Or....lose that virtue as fast as you can! And have fun, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my kids used to make St. Brigid Crosses.
They didn’t understand the meaning, I don’t think.
Victoria, Our church gave us take home candles to light. We did so.
