Stained Glass Featuring the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Mary, the Blessed Mother of Jesus, was considered a gift from God when she was born to her parents, Joachim and Anne, who was thought to be barren. In gratitude, they brought the little girl to the Temple to dedicate her to God in preparation for His plan for her life. This blessed event is celebrated on November 18 by believers who are Roman Catholic, and is also celebrated during the Christmas season in Eastern Catholic and Orthodox churches. Churches, chapels and shrines to St. Mary, located all over the world, feature works of stained glass art depicting this blessed event, and many similar stained glass pieces are also included in the extensive gallery of Stained Glass, Inc.

Christian legend, based on the Protoevangelium of James, written before 200 A.D., has it that Mary remained in the Temple at Jerusalem until the age of 12, where she was educated and developed a lifelong devotion to God. Since her parents had died, she then became the ward of Joseph, whom she married prior to the virgin birth of Jesus. Her feast day was celebrated by Christians from the Byzantine days and was formally recognized by the Church in the 1100s, becoming a widely celebrated Holy Day in Honor of The Blessed Mother by the Roman Church by the 1600s.
