The Presentation : Chapter 13-5

The Law of Moses had ordered their purification, so they went to Jerusalem.
St. Joseph and Holy Mother Mary took Jesus to the temple, and offer Him to the Lord God, as prescribed in the Law of the Lord, “Every first-born male is to be consecrated to the Lord” and to offer a sacrifice as mentioned in the Law of the Lord, “A pair of doves or two young pigeons.”
There was an old man called St. Simeon who was righteous and devout. He was looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him, and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. Moved by the Holy Spirit, he came into the temple courts. When the parents brought into the Child Jesus for to do the custom of the Law required, St. Simeon took Him in his arms, and praised the Lord God. (Luke 2:22-38).
“The Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace. I have seen Your salvation in my eyes. You have prepared this Light for all people, for the Gentiles, and a glory to Your people Israel.”
