Not long after the birth of Jesus, Joseph and Mary adhered to three Jewish ceremonies: Circumcision, performed on the eighth day, for all male children; Purification from childbirth for Mary, 40 days after her son's birth; and Consecration of the firstborn in the Temple, in recognition that the firstborn son belongs to the Lord. The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, celebrated on February 2nd, marks 40 days after Christmas, commemorating when Mary and Joseph presented the baby Jesus at the Jerusalem Temple, fulfilling Jewish Mosaic Law for consecration of firstborn sons and the mother's purification, and featuring the aged Anna and the prophet Simeon recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and Light of the World, based on the Gospel of Luke 2:22-40. Also called Candlemas or Hypapante (Eastern Orthodoxy) or The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this feast day involves blessing candles symbolizing Christ as light. Ee68.

Infancy gospels or protoevangelions are a genre of religious texts that arose in the 2nd century. They are part of New Testament apocrypha, and provide accounts of the birth and early life of Jesus. The texts are of various and uncertain origin, and are generally non-canonical in major modern branches of Christianity. They include the Gospel of James, which introduces the concept of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, and the Infancy Gospel of Thomas (not to be confused with the unrelated Gospel of Thomas), both of which cover many miraculous incidents from the life of Mary and the childhood of Jesus that are not included in the canonical gospels.
