A sacrificeLeviticus 12 explains that every time a woman gave birth, she had to wait a certain number of days and then go to the temple and offer a sacrifice. If she was very poor, instead of a lamb and a pigeon or turtledove, she could bring two pigeons or turtledoves, one for a burnt offering and one for a sin offering. Mary was just following Jewish tradition.
