Today is the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Theotokos into the Temple, which commemorates Mary’s elderly parents, Joachim and Anna, presenting or “offering” their young three-year-old daughter to the priests to be raised as a Temple virgin or something akin to a nun. She was presented to this holy place to become herself a “holy place,” a Temple or “Holy of Holies” in which God, Himself would one day dwell.
Fr. John
