"FAITH IN ACTION"
A weekly reflection by JCU's Campus Ministry Staff 

Ground Hog Day

"Groundhog Day is a North American (and Canadian) folk holiday which is always on Feb. 2nd.  Also on February 2nd is a Christian feast day known as the Presentation of the Lord, sometimes referred to as Candlemas.  Believe it or not, they are actually connected.  One celebrates the increasing light of the season and the other celebrates the light of Christ, but there is more to it than that."
