On the theme of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, this icon depicts the prophetess Anna and the elder Simeon in front of the Temple. After a life of waiting and hope, they can leave this earth with light hearts, fulfilled with the joy of having recognized and embraced the Savior of the World in the Child Jesus. “Now, Lord, let your servant depart in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation…”
Luke 2:29,30
