Eight days have passed since that very special moment when the world stood still and Our Savior was born. We see Joseph and Mary bringing the Infant Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem, in keeping with the Mosaic laws. They were following the tradition of their people, in obedience to the tenets of their Faith: "Every first-born male must be consecrated to the Lord." (Luke 2:23-24) They knew this Child was the Son of God and above the ordinances that man must follow; but never, for one moment, did they think this precluded them from obeying the law of their ancestors. Therefore, they made the journey from Bethlehem to Jerusalem. They weren't prepared for what was to happen to them there.
