Luke 2:22-24 - Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord"), and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons." It was one of these two types of birds; Luke doesn't specify which was actually offered. Later, in verse 39, he just says, "So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth."

How does the story surrounding sacrifice in the temple when Jesus is a baby fits with Luke's theology?

A:Luke 2:24 tells of Joseph and Mary offering a sacrifice in the temple, for the birth of Jesus: "And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons." Much of the theology in Luke was concerned with the poor, with even its beatitudes differing from those of Matthew by their emphasis on the poor. Now, Jews were expected to sacrifice a lamb in thanks for the birth of a boy unless they were very poor, in which case they offered a pair of pigeons as a sacrifice. Luke is emphasising that Jesus came from a poor background.
