Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
- Feast day
- November 21
Life
This memorial celebrates the ancient tradition, recorded in early Christian writings, that the child Mary was presented by her parents Joachim and Anne in the Temple at Jerusalem and dedicated to God's service. Kept in the East as the Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple, the feast honors Mary's total self-giving to God from her earliest years.
The saint of the day, every day
Bosko shows you the saint the Church honors today, every day — their story, today's feast, and where they fall in your tradition's liturgical calendar, so a feast that matters to you never quietly slips past.
