Описание: The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple and the meeting with prophets Simeon and Anna (Luke 2:22-40). This episode from Luke’s gospel is usually read 40 days after Christmas Day on the logic that Jesus was 40 days old when Joseph and Mary brought him as a first born son for Presentation in the Temple. The words of Simeon’s prophecy remind us that the saving plans of God includes all the nations of the earth—in continuity with prophecies from the calling oc Abram (“to bless all the families of the earth”—Gen 12). There is also foretelling of the opposition and the passion of the Christ in Simeon’s words, and so traditionally the Frast of the Presentation acts as ‘glue’ or ‘hinge’ between the two great dimensions of our amazing Saviour—the incarnation which we remember most vividly in celebrations of his birth (nativity) and the Easter mysteries…Christ’s passion, death and resurrection towards which we turn our gaze as Lent quickly approaches. This year, 2026, Ash Wednesday is 18 February.
