Mary and Joseph
Today we show a stained glass window in the Lady Chapel, showing Joseph and Mary. It celebrates the Feast of the Presentation.
Mary and Joseph, as obedient Jews, went to the Temple to give thanks for their 'first-born male child' - Jesus. Being poor, they brought the offering as the Law required of them 'a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons' - they can be seen in the basket by Mary's knees.
In the same way, the confirmands parents have brought their children to Church for Baptism, the first sacrament of initiation. On Sunday they were confirmed which was the third sacrament of initiation.
