Here you have this poor couple, this scene. But yet again, it's it's marked with such wonderful irony. As Mary and Joseph are watching the smoke from these two birds ascend to heaven, bringing about ceremonial cleanliness. They're standing there by the closest gate to the sanctuary just outside the court of the women and they're watching this and and although they're too poor to buy a sacrificial lamb, I wonder if that occurred to them they're holding one. They're holding the sacrificial lamb, the final sacrifice.
