Maria kutolewa hekaluni

Bikira Maria Kutolewa Hekaluni ni kumbukumbu ya liturujia inayoadhimishwa na Wakatoliki na Waorthodoksi tarehe 21 NovembaMartyrologium RomanumSome but not all Eastern Rite churches reckon by the Julian calendar, in which this date falls 13 days later on December 4 of the Gregorian calendar..

Msingi
Adhimisho linatokana na habari ambayo haipatikani katika Agano Jipya, ila katika Injili ya Yakobo. Humo inasimuliwa kwamba wazazi wa Bikira Maria, Yohakimu na Ana, ambao hawakuwa na watoto, walipata ujumbe kutoka mbinguni kwamba watapata mtoto. 

Kama shukrani ya kupata mtoto wa kike, akiwa bado mdogo walimleta katika Hekalu la Yerusalemu ili kumweka wakfu kwa Mungu. 

Huko alibaki hadi alipotolewa kwa Yosefu.

Kwa namna nyingine, inaaminika kwamba mwenyewe alijitoa mapema kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, yeye aliyejaa neema tangu kutungwa mimba kwa kukingiwa dhambi ya asili na atakayejaliwa kuwa Mama wa Mungu kwa uwezo wa Roho Mtakatifu https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/25200.
