According to Luke 2:41, Joseph and Mary went to the Passover celebration in Jerusalem every year:
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. (Luke 2:41-43)
So it seems likely that Jesus also went to the feast in Jerusalem every year. But we aren’t specifically told anything of these visits apart from the above occasion when he was 12 years old, and of the three Passover feasts during his ministry: John 2:13; 6:4; 11:55.
