I think you mean, Jesus was taken to the temple for the sacrifice, naming and circumcision.
That ceremony is at 8 days.

[Verginius Rufus]

Jesus was not taken to the temple for circumcision.

In the traditional church calendar, the Nativity is celebrated on Dec. 25, the Circumcision 8 days later on Jan. 1, and the Presentation in the Temple (or the Purification of the Virgin Mary) on Feb. 2, the 40th day after the Nativity.

No, it was after the days of her purification 40 days i think.

Luke 2:22-40
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

Jesus was circumcised on the 8th day (Luke 2:21). He was presented at the temple on the 40th day (Luke 2:22-24).

Catholics celebrate those two days with the Feast of the Circumcision (Jan 1st) and Candlemas (Feb 2nd).

As far as I can tell, the circumcision would have been done at home, while the presentation would have, obviously, had to been done at the temple.
