Blessed Benedict Daswa – Monday 01 February. Benedict was a South African school teacher and principal. He was given the name of ‘Samuel’ by his parents when he started to attend school and assumed the name
“Benedict” upon his conversion. A local mob murdered him when he refused to fund their anti-Catholic witchcraft superstitions. He had been viewed as a martyr after his death and his martyrdom was confirmed in 2015, paving the way for his beatification. He was beatified in Limpopo on 13th September 2015. Carinal Angelo Amato – on behalf of Pope Francis – presided over the beatification Mass.
Blessing of candles – 2 February on this feast day is closely related to the Gospel narrative, introducing Jesus as the ‘Light of the people’. The burning candle symbolises the abiding presence of Jesus Christ in the midst of the Christian community.
