Summary/Abstract: In the presented article I deal with the reception of ancient Jewish rituals by the author of the Old Polish apocryphon Żywot Pana Jezu Krysta. These are two celebrations closely related to the birth of a male descendant: the offering of the newborn and the cleansing of the mother from cultic im- purity. The aim of the article is to indicate the manner in which this reception took place, as well as its theological consequences for medieval Mariology.
