TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Today's feast is new as feasts go, and it sets us this year in a very modern crisis. Amid conflicting schedules and
commitments, a young man, testing the limits, has strayed from his parents and gone off to the big city. Mary and
Joseph search frantically, only to find the child Jesus in the temple, conversing with the elders and scholars of the law,
who are amazed at his wisdom. In the time of Jesus, the temple was the religious center of Jewish ritual. Outside of
Jerusalem, people gathered in the synagogues, centers of learning, for daily prayer and study. Still, everyone longed to
journey to the temple to participate in the offerings, and to fulfill certain obligations of the law that could only be done
there. On this feast, we catch a glimpse of the family of Jesus: parents dealing with the normal stresses of raising a
child, and yet completely grounded in the ways of faith and tradition. There has always been an appreciation in
Christianity for the value of pilgrimage--the journey to holy places that is a symbol of our life s journey to God, and a
sense of connection to important events in our family history. During the Christmas season, many of us undertake
pilgrimages to the family homestead for festival meals, to the parishes where we were formed in the faith, or perhaps
even to a beautiful manger scene or festival of lights. There are few better days than this in our calendar for spending
time with the family, especially on a short pilgrimage to a favorite place. Just make sure that no one gets left behind!
