Today we celebrate the feast of the Entrance of the Mother of God into the Temple. The Prologue of Ohrid and the Protoevangelium of James both talk about Mary entering the temple at age three, where she entered the Holy of Holies, and prayed and worshipped in the temple.
Fun fact time! This past Saturday, October 1st, we celebrated the feast of the Holy Protection of the Mother of God, which initiates our month of Mary.
Today we celebrate the feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God, and we can use today's feast to reflect on the dignity of body, and the union of body and soul.
