How do our sacred rituals root us and help us live into new chapters with courage? After eight days have passed, Mary and Joseph circumcise their child and give him the name Jesus. They return to the temple in Jerusalem to enact the sacred birth rituals of their culture and tradition. Rituals mark sacred turning points in our lives. They can help us make meaning of celebrations, losses, and transitions, such as the birth of a new child.
