    Hi All,

    I'm looking for suggestions for processional music for a Candlemas procession this year. We are processing between two churches about 10 blocks apart. I'm not aware of many hymns that would go well beyond "In His Temple, Now Behold Him," but I'm hoping there, but would love 4-5 more to balance out some Latin processional chants. Thanks in advance, and may God bless you all.

    See this discussion from about a year ago.

    My personal favourite suggestion would be 'Of the Father's love begotten'.

    At the Name of Jesus. All seven verses. Hymns addressed to our Lord are appropriate.

    Anything to Our Lady; it is also the feast of the Purification... Immaculate Mary is always a good processional option
