Explanation: Custom and Reason behind Mary purifying herself
- According to the religious texts, Joseph and Mary took baby Jesus after forty days of his birth to the temple in Jerusalem to complete mother Mary`s ritual purification.
- It is described in chapter 2 of the Bible that a woman who gives birth to a son will be unclean for 7 days and on the 8th day the baby boy would be circumcised.
- After this the woman must wait 33 dyas to be purified and on the 40th day she is supposed to offer a sacrifice of pigeon/dove to curtail her sins.
- The main idea behind this custom is to surrender our lives to the God.
- Parents are reminded of their responsibilities to present their children for Baptism.
- This custom wants us to encounter with God as Mary did.
- It helps us to surrender ourselves.
Hope this helps.
