# Luke's received Temple presentation shows Mary in a public purity-and-dedication rite, not a later cathedral dedication

Date: 1

## The fact

Luke later tells a Temple presentation in which Mary takes part in a public purity-and-dedication rite. It is not a later cathedral feast. Mary, mother of Jesus's documented role is: She is shown bringing the child and offerings. Simeon and Anna are counterparts. Medium confidence as event.

## Context

Simeon and Anna are named speakers. Sharing that Temple public with them is required. Egypt-flight is Matthew's different infancy path. The setting of Luke's received Temple presentation shows Mary in a public purity-and-dedication rite, not a later cathedral dedication is the public file around 0001-05-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [social-cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
