Answered in 1 source

Mary's humble condition underscores the profound humility of Christ's incarnation.

Mary's offering of two turtle-doves, as prescribed for the poor, indicates her humble status and reflects the overarching theme of Christ’s humility in His incarnation. He chose to be born into poverty, demonstrating that He identifies with the lowly and marginalized. This aspect of His life encourages believers facing earthly struggles, reminding them of Jesus’ understanding and compassion towards the poor. His humble beginnings challenge societal views about the value of wealth and status in religion.
