Bahasa: Menurut hukum ada Yahudi dalam Perjanjian Baharu (Lukas 2:21), seorang bayi lelaki Yahudi akan disunat pada hari kelapan selepas kelahirannya. Pada hari tersebut, dia akan dikurniakan nama secara rasmi. Maka, perayaan ini memperingati: (i) Penyunatan: Ketaatan Yesus kepada Hukum Taurat dan penyertaan-Nya dalam perjanjian Abraham melalui penumpahan darah-Nya yang pertama; dan (ii)Penamaan: Pemberian nama rasmi Yesus (Yeshua), yang bermaksud "TUHAN menyelamatkan," seperti disampaikan oleh Malaikat Gabriel.

English: According to Jewish law in the New Testament (Luke 2:21), a newborn Jewish boy was circumcised on the eighth day after his birth. On this day, he was officially given his name. Hence, this feast celebrates two significant aspects: (i) The Circumcision: Signifies Jesus' obedience to the Mosaic Law and the first spilling of His blood for humanity, marking His entry into the covenant of Abraham; and (ii) The Naming: Honors the name Jesus (derived from the Hebrew Yeshua), which means "The Lord saves," as announced by the angel Gabriel to Mary before His conception.
