This feastday commemorates the tradition that Our Lady was presented in the temple at the age of three.  Contemplatives have always cherished this day.
“By this extraordinary faith toward the Holy Eucharist, we contemplatives  imitate the angels and the blessed of heaven whom St. John presents to us prostrated before the lamb without blemish, and always occupied in giving Him glory and honor.”
 - Mother Marie de Sainte Claire, foundress of Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration
