On Saturday, November 21, the worldwide Armenian Church will
celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Holy Mother-of-God to the
Temple. Shortly after Mary was born, her parents Joachim and Anna
took their daughter to the Temple of Jerusalem to be consecrated to God in
thanksgiving for the gift of their child. According to tradition, Mary remained
there for a time and was given over to the care of pious widows and maidens who
lived at the temple. Later, as a young woman, Mary became betrothed to Joseph
the carpenter. Click here to view a video about St. Mary in the Armenian
