PRESENTATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY: NOVEMBER 21

November 21, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

In former times, it was a religious custom among the Jews to dedicate children to God’s service in the temple, even before they were born.  Before the fifth year had passed the child was taken to the temple and committed to the care of the priest who offered her to the Lord.  Sometimes the child remained in the temple to be educated and trained to serve the sanctuary by making vestments, ornaments, and assisting at services.  They contributed to the worship of God in the various liturgical offices.  Tradition tells us that St. Joachim and St. Ann presented the Virgin Mary at the age of three.  This offering is commemorated by the Church by the Feast of the Presentation on November 21.  It is observed with special devotion as a patronal feast.
