“There is indeed an Homily among St. Chrysostom's works, which if it were genuine, would carry this feast an hundred years higher; for it is upon this festival under this very name of Hypapante.”

“But although this may be one, or even the principal, reason why the Hypapante was put in this particular place there were probably other considerations as well.”

“Hence, the day of the Hypapante marked both the day of Mary's purification and the presentation of her firstborn in the temple. The Hypapante was surely one of the ancient feasts held in Jerusalem and, as we learn from the reliable report of the pilgrim Egeria (who resided in Jerusalem between 381 and 384), it was celebrated in the fourth century at Golgotha.”
