November 21 is the Feast of the Presentation of Mary to the Temple. According to tradition, Mary was taken -presented to- the Temple in Jerusalem when she was very young. She lived there until her betrothal to Joseph.
Look around and see if you can find this feast/event represented in any sacred art in our Rochester diocese and then send me an email to let me know the church where you found it or where you know one exists: bernie@cleansingfire.org
I’m already aware of the one in a window at Saint Anne Church in Rochester.
I’ve received a couple of tips from readers regarding beautiful churches in the Rochester Diocese that I should visit and then feature in posts. I will be doing that as I am able. If you would like to recommend a church or two please send me an email: bernie@cleansingfire.org
