Jesus mentioned circumcision once, to illustrate a point, when talking with the Jews at : John 7:19-24
It was part of life as a Jew, in keeping with the Mosaic Law given to the nation of Israel through Moses, to separate them from the nations.(Leviticus 12:3) Jesus had been circumcised himself, when he was 8 days old, as was the requirement for every faithful Jewish male.(Luke 2:21)(Galatians 4:4)(Genesis 17:10-12)
The requirement for circumcision did not end until after Jesus' death, when he'd perfectly fulfilled the Mosaic Law, and so, ENDED it. (Colossians 3:11; Galatians 3:28) (Colossians 2:13&14)
Jesus did not specifically address circumcision in his teachings. However, he emphasized the importance of inner spiritual transformation and following the commandments of love, compassion, and forgiveness. He taught that true circumcision of the heart, symbolizing a pure and sincere relationship with God, was more significant than physical circumcision.

Circumcision is not necessary for salvation in most Christian beliefs. Salvation is typically based on faith in Jesus Christ, not on physical rituals like circumcision.
In Yiddish, circumcision is called "bris" (ברית).
Circumcision is a practice mentioned in the Bible as a sign of the covenant between God and the people of Israel. It symbolizes purity, obedience, and dedication to God. In the New Testament, circumcision is seen as a spiritual act of the heart rather than a physical one. Christians believe that faith in Jesus Christ is what truly matters, not physical circumcision.

As far as I can tell Jesus was given that name at His circumcision. In Greek, the nameis Sotos, meaning 'Saviour'.
In the New Testament, circumcision is addressed primarily in the context of the early Christian church's debates about the necessity of Jewish law for Gentile believers. In Acts 15, the Council of Jerusalem concluded that Gentiles should not be required to be circumcised, emphasizing faith in Jesus over adherence to the law. Paul also discusses circumcision in his letters, notably in Galatians, where he argues that requiring circumcision for salvation undermines the grace of Christ. Overall, the New Testament suggests that faith, rather than physical circumcision, is what unites believers in Christ.
Circumcision. For the origin of circumcision in Judaism read Genesis chapter 16, verse10.
I can't imagine that he didn't stay close by the whole time Jesus was at the Temple, so it's reasonable to assume that he was there for the circumcision and naming.
On the eighth day after Jesus' birth, it was customary for Jewish boys to be circumcised, as per the covenant practices outlined in the Torah. This event is significant in the Christian tradition as it marks the official naming of Jesus, as he was given the name that had been announced by the angel before his conception. The circumcision symbolizes Jesus' obedience to Jewish law and his identification with the Jewish people. This event is commemorated in the Christian liturgical calendar as the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ.
