Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; a non-Biblical source tells us that Ann and Joachim presented Mary to God in the temple when she was 3, to carry out a promise made to God when Anna was still childless; the feast emphasizes that the holiness conferred on Mary from the beginning of her life on earth continued through her early childhood and beyond
