Presentation of Mary
November 21This feast celebrates the dedication of the church to St. Mary built in Jerusalem near the site of the Temple. According to an early tradition, probably legendary, Mary was born to Sts. Ann & Joachim in Jerusalem, in neighborhood close by the temple. At twelve, she was presented there to learn the law of God. The present Church of St. Ann, a favorite place of pilgrimage, marks the ancient site today. The Scriptures which spoke of the "Daughter of Sion" singing and rejoicing in the presence of the Lord (Zech. 2, 14 - 17 ) probably suggested to ancient Christian piety eager to know details of Mary's life that the Virgin was born on the city of Sion, Jerusalem. The Apocryphal Gospel of James reported the details of Mary's early life which were portrayed in art by many great medieval artists.
Mary, Mother of God, you are the temple of the Lord, dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Help us to please God.Top of Page
