The Presentation - Original: SOLD Artist Commentary: Obeying the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary bring two doves, the sacrificial offering of the poor. Submitting to the word of God, the Word himself enters the Temple and fulfills the legal duties of man according to the Old Covenant. He will be a “sign of contradiction” and a sword will pierce his mother’s heart. Bridging the Old and New Covenants, Mary and Joseph are united with the Son in the great sacrifice of Redemption | |||||
