The feast of the Presentation of Mary, is based on a tradition that is without any biblical foundation for its historicity. It was first celebrated by the Pope when he was at Avignon in 1372, although the Eastern Church had celebrated it many centuries before. Pope Sixtus made it a feast for the universal Church in 1472. Pope Pius V suppressed it, but Pope Sixtus V restored it to the Roman breviary. (MTR) Music from SoundCloud.com. Photo by Lewis Westwood Flood on Unsplash
