“We lit our last candle”, Spring is coming

In February, there has been considerably more daylight than in January. The days grow longer faster. Nature is showing cautious signs of life.

On Friday, one February we celebrated Candlemas. First, we gathered in the castle room. We took our coats and went out. There were large pots of soil ready in front of the building. We put the fuses in the holes in the pots. Bob and Dominique had provided melted candle wax. We poured the melted fat into jugs into the holes. Then we lit the candles. At the same time the star came down from the attic window. We sang the song together “Style not” and other light festival songs.
