since I'm supposed to help moderate with this group, I wanted to ask some questions about this video, like: was the presentation to the temple similar between Mary's at age 3 and Jesus' as a newborn? did Mary actually stay at the temple like a boarding school as the video implies, or was she simply entrusted to the temple and stayed with her parents growing up? 3 years old is awfully young. wouldn't Anne and Joachim go with her to the temple, but take care of her at home? are there any scholars in this area?

Good questions, Helena. I don't know the answers to your questions but I am sure that someone could find out the answers by doing some additional research. They might have more information on this subject at EWTN.com in their document library section.

yes someone scholarly should look that up for us; probably any documentation on the topic would be pious assumptions though?
