According to the Gospel of Luke (2:21), eight days after his birth, Jesus was circumcised and formally given the name "Jesus"—the name announced by the angel Gabriel before he was conceived. This event, celebrated in the Christian liturgical calendar as the Feast of the Circumcision and Name of Jesus (traditionally January 1), marks Jesus's submission to the Mosaic Law as a descendant of Abraham and his formal entry into the covenant community of Israel. The name "Jesus" (Yeshua in Hebrew) means "the Lord saves," reflecting his identity and mission.
