Luke 2:21-24

21Eight days after his birth, the child was circumcised and named Jesus. This was the name the angel had given him before his mother became pregnant.

22After the days required by Moses’ Teachings to make a mother clean  had passed, Joseph and Mary went to Jerusalem. They took Jesus to present him to the Lord.

23They did exactly what was written in the Lord’s Teachings: “Every firstborn boy is to be set apart as holy to the Lord.”

24They also offered a sacrifice as required by the Lord’s Teachings: “a pair of mourning doves or two young pigeons.”
