Meditations
The Scriptures tells us nothing of Mary's hidden life. The inspired Word of God gives us no word about her Presentation in the Temple, the feast which we celebrate each year on November 21. However, we do have the testimonies of tradition which are based on accounts which come to us from apostolic times. See: Presentation of Mary: November 21
