In fact, it represents a very significant <strong>junction<\/strong> between the history of Jesus and Christianity and Jewish culture. The Old Testament imposed very strict rules and established precise ceremonies that followed the birth of a child in a family, especially if it was a male child. The woman who had given birth was considered <strong>unclean<\/strong> (Lev 12) and had to undergo a series of purification rites before she could touch sacred things again and enter the sanctuary. In addition, every firstborn male child <strong>was to be consecrated to the Lord<\/strong> and redeemed through a symbolic offering as a sign of gratitude for the deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt (Exodus 13:2 and Exodus 13:11-16).<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4905 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/01\/Presentation-of-Jesus-at-the-temple-bas-relief-in-Pyrenean-stone.jpg\" alt=\"Presentation of Jesus at the temple bas relief in Pyrenean stone\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Presentation of Jesus at the temple until the feast of Candlemas\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/?p=4900\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/bas-reliefs\/stone-bas-reliefs\/presentation-of-jesus-at-the-temple-bas-relief-in-pyrenean-stone?_gl=1*1hb2w2o*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3MDQ3MTMzMjMuQ2owS0NRanc4cW1oQmhDbEFSSXNBTkF0Ym9mZ21KMm85dkV5S0JjLUdLUWIweWFCLU9EekR0N1ZQV2hnY1g4WW96M2haNGVTR0JkUjR1d2FBZzZrRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*MzQ2MTAxMTM4LjE2OTc4MDc3MzQ.*_ga*MjAyODIwNTUzOS4xNjgwNTA1OTc3*_ga_W18MV136NH*MTcwNDc4ODcwMC4zMjIuMC4xNzA0Nzg4NzAwLjAuMC4w\">Presentation of Jesus at the temple bas relief in Pyrenean stone<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">Presentation of Jesus at the temple bas relief in Pyrenean&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Thus, in <strong>Luke&#8217;s Gospel<\/strong> (Luke 2:22-40) we read the episode of Jesus&#8217; presentation in the Temple, which occurred forty days after His birth.

Indeed, there are many festivals celebrated by ancient civilizations to celebrate the transition from darkness to light, symbolized by the end of winter and the beginning of spring. In mid-February the <strong>Romans<\/strong> celebrated the Lupercali, characterized by the lighting of many lamps and candles, but also by purification rites. The <strong>Celts<\/strong> for their part dropped the feast of Imbolc, the &#8220;Day of St. Brigid,&#8221; on February 1, celebrating the culmination of winter and in certain areas the beginning of spring.<\/p>\n<h2>Purification of Mary<\/h2>\n<p>The feast of Candlemas has long been a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/items\/virgin-mary-statues.php\"><strong>Marian holiday<\/strong><\/a>.

This happened as a result of the liturgical reform decreed by the <strong>Second Vatican Council<\/strong>. However, the tradition of <strong>women&#8217;s purification<\/strong> on this occasion remains alive in many countries, especially in rural areas. Until recently in Valnerina, Marche, every woman who gave birth had to go to church 40 days after giving birth to be purified by the priest. The woman had to kneel at the threshold with a lit candle, the priest would bless her there, and then they would enter together, walking toward the altar while she held on to the white stole he wore.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4916 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/01\/Immaculate-Mary-figure-in-painted-wood-pulp-15cm.jpg\" alt=\"Immaculate Mary figure in painted wood pulp 15cm\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Presentation of Jesus at the temple until the feast of Candlemas\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/?p=4900\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/statues\/hand-painted-wooden-statues\/immaculate-mary-figure-in-painted-wood-pulp-15cm?_gl=1*1aaurh3*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3MDQ3MTMzMjMuQ2owS0NRanc4cW1oQmhDbEFSSXNBTkF0Ym9mZ21KMm85dkV5S0JjLUdLUWIweWFCLU9EekR0N1ZQV2hnY1g4WW96M2haNGVTR0JkUjR1d2FBZzZrRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*MzQ2MTAxMTM4LjE2OTc4MDc3MzQ.*_ga*MjAyODIwNTUzOS4xNjgwNTA1OTc3*_ga_W18MV136NH*MTcwNDc4ODcwMC4zMjIuMS4xNzA0Nzg4OTYxLjAuMC4w\">Immaculate Mary figure in painted wood pulp 15cm<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">Immaculate Mary figure in painted wood pulp 15cm.

In the past it was the day when old people in villages tried to guess what the weather would be like between now and the arrival of spring. Many proverbs are linked precisely to this &#8216;meteorological&#8217; dimension, such as the famous Veneto saying, &#8220;<em>Se ce sole a candelora del inverno semo f\u00f2ra, se rain e tira vento del inverno semo dentro<\/em>,&#8221; of which there are similar versions in Lombardy and Trieste. Basically, in these areas it is believed that if it is sunny on Candlemas day, winter is almost over, while if it rains or pulls the wind it will last for a while longer.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, in Tuscany and Emilia it is believed to be exactly the opposite: if it snows or hails by Candlemas, winter cannot last much longer. &#8220;<em>Se piove o se gragnola dell&#8217;inverno semo fora<\/em>&#8221; is the saying in Tuscany, while in Bologna, &#8220;Al d\u00e9 dl&#8217;Inzari\u00f4la, o ch&#8217;al naiva o ch&#8217;al pi\u00f4va dal inv\u00earen a s\u00e4n f\u00f2ra, mo s&#8217;ai \u00e9 al sulad\u00e8l a in ar\u00e4n anc pr un msar\u00e8l (On Candlemas Day, whether it snows or rains, from winter we are out, but if it&#8217;s sunny we&#8217;ll have winter for about another month).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presentation of Jesus to the temple is celebrated on February 2.
