Luke is describing what Mary and Joseph did after Jesus' birth, when they came to the temple in Jerusalem for Mary's purification and to present their firstborn son to the Lord. The Law of Moses allowed a lamb for a burnt offering, but made an exception for the poor: two turtledoves or two young pigeons (Leviticus 12:8).
