DESCRIPTION:When the Virgin Mary was three years old her parents fulfilled
  their vows and presented her to the temple. During her stay in the temple
  her parents died knowing nothing of the future of their daughter. Church 
 fathers have a different version stated in church liturgy. The payer read 
 from the book of daily offices (Shehimo) on Friday morning reads:\n” Mar
 y became an orphan\, for her parents passed away. She was left for the pri
 ests to take care of her. They took her to Jerusalem according to the comm
 and of Moses to be brought up there. The Lord of Prophets descended from h
 igh. He blessed and sanctified her. Hallelujah. May the prayer to her be a
  fence and protection to us”.\n\nAccording to both versions we notice th
 at the Virgin Mary was brought up in the temple from childhood and was con
 secrated to God. She worshiped God\, Almighty serving in His temple with o
 ther elderly women worshipers such as Hanna the prophetess\, daughter of P
 henol\, who served God…night and day (L. 2:37). The Virgin Mary studied 
 the books of Divine inspiration and kept the law.\n\nIt has to be understo
 od that the Virgin Mary did not take a vow of lifetime virginity because i
 t was not the custom of the Jews to take such vows and because every Jewis
 h girl was eager that she might give birth to Messiah. Every Jewish girl l
 ooked forward to her wedding day. This is manifested when the daughter of 
 Jephtah knew about the vow taken by her father that “Whoever comes forth
  of the door of his house to meet him when he returns in victory he will o
 ffer it up for a burnt offering”. She was the first to come forth and re
 ceive him\, and her father had to keep his vow in her. Although taking vow
 s was considered against the law (Deut.12: 31)\, “she said unto her fath
 er\, let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months\, that I may g
 o up and down upon the mountains\, and bewail my virginity\, I and my fell
 ows” (Judg. 11:37).\n\nMonasticism was known among pagans. It was introd
 uced to Judaism as well\, and was practiced by the Essens. This was\, howe
 ver\, a violation of Jewish religious traditions and of the teachings of t
 he Pentateuch which considers marriage a necessity in fulfillment of the C
 ommand of God\, Almighty.\n\n“Be fruitful and multiply” (Gen. 1:28). S
 ome prophets kept celibacy such as Elijah\, John\, the Baptist and others.
  This was\, however\, in fulfillment of a divine end. These celibates were
  considered as weird and never can weirdness be the norm.\n\nThe Holy Virg
