When in "This feast [i.e. that of the Presentation] is first described...." I say "feast" I mean it according to the _OED_'s first definition of that word: "A religious anniversary appointed to be observed with rejoicing (hence opposed to a fast), in commemoration of some event or in honour of some personage".

And thank you for the fascinating and useful postings.

Frank
