Acireale (CT), February 2nd, 2026 – On the occasion of the feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, commonly known as Candlemas, the Knights of the Province of Catania participated in the Holy Mass celebrated at the Basilica of San Sebastiano in Acireale. Dean Don Alessandro Di Stefano, Ecclesiastical Knight of Grace, officiated the Eucharistic rite. The celebration began in the right aisle of the basilica with the blessing of the assembly. From there, a procession led by the Knights, followed by the clergy and faithful, moved in religious silence to the high altar. During his homily, Don Alessandro outlined the history of the feast, focusing on the concept of encounter: Candlemas is, in fact, the feast of the encounter between the New and the Old Testaments, but also of the encounter between Man and God and between Men. Every Christian thus becomes a light to illuminate their own darkness and that of their neighbors: these are the two prerogatives that characterize the Constantinian Knight. Present at the rite were Knights Giuseppe Di Gregorio, Cosimo Costa, Vito Quattrocchi, and Marcello Cantone.
