 Come, let us worship Christ, the son of Mary. |
- The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
- In unity with Eastern Christianity, and commemorating the dedication in 543 of the New Basilica of Saint Mary, built next to the Temple at Jerusalem, this feast celebrates Mary’s “dedication” of herself to God from her infancy, inspired by the Holy Spirit, whose grace had filled her ever since her immaculate conception.See also the article in Wikipedia.
