The Presentation of the Rods |
||||||||
When Mary was fourteen she left the temple to be married. Zacharias went to the temple to pray for guidance. A voice told him all the eligible men should place a dry branch on the altar and the one that flowered would marry Mary. Joseph at first did not offer a branch because, he thought it was wrong for a man of his years to marry such a young wife. |
