Pidyon HaBen is the rite of redeeming a firstborn son, performed thirty days after birth. The father symbolically gives five silver coins to a Kohen, recalling the consecration of firstborns to divine service. The ceremony applies only to a mother's firstborn, provided he was born naturally, and does not apply to families of Kohanim and Levites.
