Tabb Centenary Year VII A quatrain by Rev. John B. Tabb. The Purification
Where, woman, is thine offering, (p. 213, Religion: An Octave to Mary) [The Roman Church celebrates the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple on Feb. 2, forty days after Christmas; in Father Tabb's day, the feast was called the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Mosaic Law stipulated from the poor an offering of two turtle doves or pigeons on the fortieth day after the birth of a son: see Leviticus 12:6-8 and Luke 2:22-24.] Lane Core Jr. CIW P Mon. 02/02/09 07:35:00 AM |
