We all know about the Presentation of Jesus, but what about the Presentation of Mary? Is this in the Bible? What is the Protoevangelium of James and is it inspired by the Holy Spirit? Fr. Chris Alar gives a good summary of what it is, what we believe, and why.
In Revelation 12, Scripture presents a woman “clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars” (Rev 12:1). As Fr. Chris explains, this image points unmistakably to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her heavenly glory reveals the one chosen by God to bear Christ, the King who “is to rule all the nations” (Rev 12:5). Yet confusion arises when the passage speaks of her crying out in pain. These are not physical labor pains from the birth of Jesus.
