NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2019
The Entry of the Most Holy Mother of God into the Temple
November 21, 2019
Some days after the beginning of Advent, the Church celebrates the feast of the Entry of the Holy
Virgin into the Temple. It is fitting that, at the start of this time of preparation for Christmas, our
thought should turn to the Mother of God, whose humble and silent expectation should be the model
of our own expectations during Advent. The nearer we draw to the Theotokos through our prayer,
our obedience and our purity, the more will be formed in us he who is to be born.
That the Theotokos, as a very small child, was presented to the Temple in Jerusalem to live there, is
something that nowadays is recognized as belonging to the realm of legend, not to that of history.
But all the same , this legend forms a graceful symbol from which we can draw the deepest spiritual
insights.
The spiritual meaning of the feast of the entry of the Mother of God is developed in the various texts
for the services and the liturgy. The two principle themes that we find there are the following: first,
the holiness of the Theotokos. The small child who is separated from the world and brought to live
in the Temple evokes the idea of a life set apart, consecrated, “presented to the Temple”; a life of
intimacy with God: “Today the All Pure and All Holy enters the Holy of Holies”. It is clear that here
the Church makes a special allusion to virginity, but all human life, in its different measures, can be
a life that is “presented to the Temple”, a life that is holy and pure with God. The second theme is
the comparison of the Temple made of stone and the living Temple: “The most pure Temple of the
Saviour… today is led into the house of the Lord, bringing with her the grace of the Divine Spirit”.
The Theotokos, who will bear the God-Man in her womb, is a holier temple than the sanctuary at
Jerusalem; it is fitting that these two temples should meet, but here it is the living temple which
sanctifies the temple which is built. The superiority of the living temple over the temple of stone is
true in a special way of the Theotokos, because she was the instrument of the Incarnation. But, in a
more general manner, this is true of every man who is united with God: “Know ye not that ye are
the temple of God…? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost…? “
Still other thoughts, which the liturgical texts do not voice explicitly, are suggested to us by this
feast. If our soul is a temple where God wishes to live, it is fitting that the Theotokos should be
‘presented’ to it: our soul must be open to the Theotokos so that she may dwell in this temple - our
own personal temple. Then again, because the whole assembly of the faithful is the body of Christ
and the Temple of God, let us think of today’s feast as the Entry of the Theotokos into this temple -
the holy, universal Church. The Temple, which is the catholic Church, today pays homage to the
Temple which is the Theotokos.
