The Circumcision

"When the eighth day came and the child was to be circumcised, they gave him the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him before his conception."

 

– Luke 2:21, which is part of today's Gospel at Mass for the Octave day of Christmas.

 

Medieval stained glass detail from the Victoria & Albert museum in London, believed to show the Circumcision of Isaac.
