Espousals of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Espousals of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a feast that is celebrated in certain parts of the Roman Catholic Church. It was removed from many local calendars by the Sacred Congregation of Rites. It was formerly generally observed on January 23.
== History ==
In Matthew 1:16, Joseph is described as the husband of Mary. It is probable that Joseph and Mary were betrothed at Nazareth.〔(Souvay, Charles. "St. Joseph." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 8. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1910. 7 Aug. 2013 )〕 The term "betrothal" indicates more than an engagement. It was customary to celebrate marriage in two stages, the first that of the contractual arrangements culminating in consent or "betrothal". After a period of perhaps one year in which preparations were made to establish a new home together, the second part stage of actually conveying the wife to that home would be accompanied by a great feast such as that recounted in the Gospel of John as the Marriage Feast at Cana (Jn 2:1-11).〔("Background of Betrothal and Divorce", Oblates of St. Joseph )〕
