Presentation-of-the-Lord-Church

Presentation-of-the-Lord Church , Church of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple , or Church of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary , rarely Church of the Candlemas are the churches that celebrate the feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple ( Candlemas or Christ Candlemas , earlier also The Purification of Mary, Purificatio Mariae ) are dedicated. The patronage is on February 2nd.

A distinction is to be made between the presentation of Mary in the temple on November 21 (formerly the walk to the temple or the sacrifice of the Virgin Mary ), orthodox introduction of the Theotokos in the temple , today the Catholic memorial day for Our Lady of Jerusalem see Church of the Sacrifice of Mary

Since the Catholic liturgical reform , the aspect of the gentlemen's festival has been emphasized, as has been customary in the Eastern Churches since ancient times. The patronage of the Purification of the Virgin comes from the time when the Marian aspect of the festival was emphasized, so they are Marienkirchen . Therefore, the former are mostly Orthodox or Byzantine, the latter mostly Catholic.
