Tickets of the Virgin: What we celebrate today, Monday, November 21
the Entrances of the Virgin In the Temple, known in the West as the Presentation of the Virgin Mary, is a Christian holiday, which is celebrated by all Christian denominations that recognize the saints on November 21. It belongs to the festivities of the Mother of God.
The event celebrated is not mentioned in the regular Bible. The earliest known reference to this is found in the First Gospel of James, an occult text from the late second century.
According to this, the later parents of the Virgin Mary, Joaquín and Ana, were deeply distressed by the fact that they had no children. So they prayed and agreed to dedicate their son to God. Having Mary, they took her to the Temple in Jerusalem when she was still a child, to dedicate her to God. These are the Entrances of the Virgin. Later versions of the story (such as the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew and the Book of the Nativity of Mary) add that Mary was dedicated to the Temple around the age of three, fulfilling an oath. According to tradition, he stayed there to receive an education and to prepare for his role as Theomitor.
The celebration of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary began with the opening of the New Basilica of Saint Mary, which was erected near the site of the ruined Temple in Jerusalem. The ancient Byzantine basilica, built in 543, was destroyed by the Persians under Hosroes II after the siege of Jerusalem in 614. The first recorded reference to the holiday is the mention of the “Entrance of the Virgin Mary” in the Second Kingdom Monthly , a Monthly of the XI century.
The Entrances continued to be celebrated throughout the East, their celebration being recorded in the monasteries of southern Italy in the 9th century, and were transported to the West to be celebrated in the Papal Chapel of Avignon in 1372 by decree of Pope Gregory I. However, the feast it was not included in the Roman liturgy until 1472 and was abolished by Pope Pius XI in 1568. As a result, it does not appear in the Hagiology of the Three Days. Pope Sixtus V reintroduced it into Roman Hagiology in 1585.
Today the Orthodox Church celebrates the Tickets as one of its 12 Great Holidays. Because its date (November 21) is the Christmas Fast (“Sarandara”), on this day the rules of fasting are somewhat lightened and the consumption of fish, wine and oil is allowed.
