(By Andrew Golebiowski – Corpus Christi Church) Corpus Christi Church celebrates the tradition of Candlemas-Matki Boski Gromnicznej (Our Lady of the Thunder Candle) on Feb. 2. People brought their own “Thunder Candle” or “Gromnica to church to be blessed. Some of the candles brought to church had been carried from Poland.

After blessing, the candle is taken home to be lit during storms and other times of trouble, or to be placed in the hands of a dying person to allow the light to lead them to the next world.

I heart 703 Fillmore.  It is on Fillmore just south of Broadway.  Long before being the First Holy Temple Full Gospel Baptist Church, it was the Masiel Furniture store built in 1925.

In the pictures above, you can see some of the detail…look at the old awning framework and some of the awning still left.

I am glad the building is in use.

It is another little rough around the edges gem of a building in B-F.

From organizer Andy Golebiowski on Facebook:

Polish 40 Days of Christmas continued on January 15 at the St. Stan’s Social Center in Buffalo. In this video, Fr. Czesław Krysa gets the crowd going with the Polish Christmas Carol-Kolęda “Dzisaj w Betlejem” (Today in Bethlehem).

Here is a WIVB story on the event.
