Saint of the Day for November 21: Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

By Franciscan Media - The Story of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Mary’s presentation was celebrated in Jerusalem in the sixth century. A church was built there in honor of this mystery. The Eastern Church was more interested in the feast, but it does appear in the West in the 11th century. Although the feast at times disappeared from the calendar, in the 16th century it became a feast of the universal Church.
