And Symeon Blessed them, and said toMary, His Mother: Behold! ThisChild is destined for the fall andrising of many in Israel, and for aSign, which will be spoken against,(yes, a sword will pierce throughThine own soul also!), so that the

thoughts of many hearts may berevealed.

And Anna - a Prophetess, the daughterof Phanuel, of the Tribe of Asher -who was of a great age, and who hadlived with a husband seven yearsfrom her virginity; and who was awidow of about eighty-four years,and who did not leave the Temple,

but served God with Fastings andPrayers night and day.

And entering in that instant, she gaveThanks to the Lord, and spoke ofHim to all those who looked forRedemption in Jerusalem.

And when they had performed allthings according to the Law of theLord, they returned to Galilee, totheir own city, Nazareth.

And the Child grew and became Strongin Spirit, filled with Wisdom; and theGrace of God was upon Him.
