Our excellent plans for an in-person February Candlemas have were CHANGED due to COVID-19. We hosted an Ethereal (Online) Royal Court on the original date for Candlemas — and the in-person feast, Arts & Sciences display, and Baronial court on April 23. Next year we expect things should return to normal.
“Son of Candlemas”: April 23, 2022
On April 23, our hard-working Candlemas planning team, led by our event steward, Arontius of Bygelswade , presented the second attempt at Candlemas! There was an amazing feast led by Elisabeth de Besancon
. Many, many, people came together to make this event a success.
Opening court at the event was the final, farewell, court by our previous Baron and Baroness, their Excellencies (unknown person) and Eilidh Keldeleth
, and afternoon court was the first in-person court by our current Baroness and Baron, their Excellencies Kloe of Thira
and Arion the Wanderer
. There were also A&S displays and discussions, classes, youth and family activities, a table-decorating challenge, a heraldic mask challenge, and other exciting activities!
This year’s annual Arts & Sciences and Bardic championships have been postponed from Candlemas to Harvest Feast (October).
