This recent feast is celebrated each year by Orthodox Christians.

“When Mary was three years old, Joachim and Anna decided that the time had come to fulfill their promise and to offer her to the Lord. Joachim gathered the young girls of the neighborhood to form an escort, and he made them go in front of Mary, carrying torches. Captivated by the torches, the young child followed joyfully to the Temple, not once looking back at her parents nor weeping as she was parted from them.”

Do the Catholic Churches celebrate this feast? Do the Protestant Churches celebrate this feast? If so, how & when? If not, why not?
 
I’m Catholic. Yes, we celebrate this feast on November 21. I do the Christian Prayer One Volume Liturgy of the Hours and it is listed as a Memorial so I do the prayers that day for the common of the Virgin Mary.
