Jesus was dedicated to God according to Jewish tradition as a fulfillment of the Law of Moses, which required the presentation of the firstborn son in the temple. This event, known as the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, occurred shortly after his birth, symbolizing his belonging to God and his future role in salvation. Mary and Joseph performed this dedication to honor their faith and to observe the customs of their religion. It also highlighted Jesus' significance as the Messiah, recognized by Simeon and Anna, who were present at the temple.
