Presentation in the Temple painted by Jan van Scorel
According to the Mosaic law a mother who had given birth to a man-child was considered unclean for sevendays; moreover she was to remain three and thirty days "in the blood of her purification"; for a maid-child thetime which excluded the mother from sanctuary was even doubled. When the time (forty or eighty days) wasover the mother was to "bring to the temple a lamb for a holocaust and a young pigeon or turtle dove for sin";if she was not able to offer a lamb, she was to take two turtle doves or two pigeons; the priest prayed for herand so she was cleansed. (Leviticus 12:2-8)

Forty days after the birth of Christ Mary complied with this precept of the law, she redeemed her first-bornfrom the temple (Numbers 18:15), and was purified by theprayer ofSimeon the just,in the presence of Annathe prophetess (Luke 2:22). No doubt this event, the first solemn introduction of Christ into the house of God,was in the earliest times celebrated in the Church of Jerusalem. We find it attested for the first half of thefourth century by the pilgrim of Bordeaux, Egeria or Silvia. The day (14 February) was solemnly kept by aprocession to the Constantinian basilica of the Resurrection, a homily on Luke 2:22., and the Holy Sacrifice.But the feast then had no proper name; it was simply called the fortieth day after Epiphany. This lattercircumstance proves that in Jerusalem Epiphany was then the feast of Christ's birth.

Resurrection of Christ and Women at the Tomb painted by FraANGELICO, .
The main sources which directly attest the fact of Christ's Resurrection are the Four Gospels and theEpistles of St. Paul. Easter morning is so rich in incident, and so crowded with interested persons, that itscomplete history presents a rather complicated tableau. It is not surprising therefore, that the partial accountscontained in each of the Four Gospels appear at first sight hard to harmonize. But whatever exegetic view asto the visit to the sepulchre by the pious women and the appearance of the angels we may defend, wecannot deny the Evangelists' agreement as to the fact that the risen Christ appeared to one or more persons.According to St. Matthew, He appeared to the holy women, and again on a mountain inGalilee;according toSt. Mark, He was seen by Mary Magdalen, by the two disciples at Emmaus, and the Eleven before hisAscension into heaven; according to St. Luke, He walked with the disciples to Emmaus, appeared to Peterand to the assembled disciples in Jerusalem; according to St. John, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalen, to
the ten Apostles on Easter Sunday, to the Eleven a week later, and to the seven disciples at the Sea ofTiberias. St. Paul (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) enumerates another series of apparitions of Jesus after HisResurrection; he was seen by Cephas, by the Eleven, by more than 500 brethren, many of whom were stillalive at the time of the Apostle's writing, by James, by all the Apostles, and lastly by Paul himself.

Ascension of Christby painted by Garofalo 1520
May: The Blessed Virgin Mary. The May devotion in its present form originated at Rome where FatherLatomia of the Roman College of the Society of Jesus, to counteract infidelity and immorality among thestudents, made a vow at the end of the eighteenth century to devote the month of May to Mary. From Romethe practice spread to the otherJesuit colleges and thence to nearly every Catholic church of the Latin rite(Albers, "Bluethenkranze", IV, 531 sq.). This practice is the oldest instance of a devotion extending over anentire month. Indulgences three hundred days each day, by assisting at a public function or performing thedevotion in private, plenary indulgence on any day of the month or on one of the first eight days of Juneunder the usual conditions (Pius VII, 21 March, 1815, for ten years; 18 June, 1822 in perpetuum).

Assunta (Assumption painted by Titian (151618).
Regarding the day, year, and manner of Our Lady's death, nothing certain is known. The earliest knownliterary reference to the Assumption is found in the Greek work De Obitu S. Dominae. Catholic faith,however, has always derived our knowledge of the mystery from Apostolic Tradition. Epiphanius (d. 403)acknowledged that he knew nothing definite about it (Haer., lxxix, 11). The dates assigned for it varybetween three and fifteen years after Christ's Ascension. Two cities claim to be the place of her departure:Jerusalem and Ephesus. Common consent favours Jerusalem, where her tomb is shown; but some argue infavour of Ephesus. The first six centuries did not know of the tomb of Mary at Jerusalem.

Feast of the Archangels
This feast, like many others, was local before it was placed in the Roman calendar. It was not one of thefeasts retained in the Pian breviary, published in 1568; but among the earliest petitions from particularchurches to be allowed, as a supplement to this breviary, the canonical celebration of local feasts, was arequest from Cordova in 1579 for permission to have a feast in honour of the guardian angels. (Bumer,
"Histoire du Breviaire", II, 233.) Bumer, who makes this statement on the authority of original documentspublished by Dr. Schmid (in the "Tbinger Quartalschrift", 1884), adds on the same authority that "Toledosent to Rome a rich propriumand received the desired authorization for all the Offices contained in it,Valencia also obtained the approbation in February, 1582, for special Offices of the Blood of Christ and theGuardian Angels."

October
The Holy Rosary (feast of the Holy Rosary, first Sunday in October). Leo XIII personally instituted thispractice in an Encyclical (1 Sept., 1883) in which he admonished the faithful to dedicate the month ofOctober to the Queen of the Holy Rosary in order to obtain through her intercession the grace that God mayconsole and defend His Church in her sufferings, and for nineteen years he published an encyclical on this
subject. By the decree of the Congregation of Rites (20 Aug., 1885; 26 Aug., 1886; 2 Sept., 1887) heordained that every year during the entire month of October, including the first and second of November, inevery cathedral and parochial church, and in all other churches and chapels which are dedicated to theBlessed Virgin Mary, five decades of the Rosary and the Litany of Loreto are to be recited, in the morningduring Mass or in the afternoon whilst the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, and by the encyclical letter of 15August, 1889, a prayer in honour of St. Joseph was added. Indulgences (S. C. Indulg., 23 July, 1898): (a)seven years and seven quarantines every day for the public or private recitation of five decades; (b) plenaryindulgence on the feast of the Holy Rosary or during the octave for those who during the entire octave recitedaily five decades and fulfil the other usual conditions; (c) plenary indulgence on any other day of the monthfor those who, after the octave of the feast, recite for at least ten days five decades ("Raccolta", 354; Albers,"Bluethenkrnze", III, 730 sq.).

These practices, however, are not formally approved by the Church, nor enriched withindulgences.
These devotions, of course, vary with conditions in different countries. Though there is a wide variety,constantly changing, the prayers more commonly used are the litanies of the Holy Name, Sacred Heart, St.Joseph, the Blessed Virgin, the indulgenced prayers of the Raccolta, the rosary of the Dominicans. For theMay and June devotions, a short sermon or instruction usually follows, with Benediction of the BlessedSacrament concluding the services.

The Nativity painted by Franois BoucherThe earliest document commemorating this feast of the Nativity comes from the sixth century. St.Romanus,the great ecclesiastical lyrist of the Greek Church, composed for it a hymn (Card. Pitra, "Hymnogr. Graeca",Paris, 1876, 199) which is a poetical sketch of the apocryphal Gospel of St. James. St.Romanus was anative of Emesa in Syria, deacon of Berytus and later on at the Blachernae church in Constantinople, andcomposed his hymns between 536-556 (P. Maas in "Byzant. Zeitschrift", 1906). The feast may haveoriginated somewhere in Syria or Palestine in the beginning of the sixth century, when after the Council ofEphesus, under the influence of the "Apocrypha", the cult of the Mother of God was greatly intensified,especially in Syria. St. Andrew of Crete in the beginning of the eight century preached several sermons onthis feast (Lucius-Anrich, "Anfnge des Heiligenkultus", Tbingen, 1906, 468). Evidence is wanting to show
