The Presentation of the Virgin Mary
According to tradition, Mary was brought by her parents to the temple at the age of three and consecrated to the service of God. This feast is celebrated in both the Western and Eastern churches.
Collect:
Eternal Father,
we honor the holiness and glory of the Virgin Mary.
May her prayers bring us
the fullness of your life and love.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who
lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
