An 84-year-old woman who was a pious fixture in Jerusalem, never left the temple, worshiping there day and night, fasting and praying. According to the Gospel of Luke, the Prophetess Anna appears during the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, celebrated on February 2nd, marks 40 days after Christmas, commemorating when Mary and Joseph presented the baby Jesus at the Jerusalem Temple, fulfilling Jewish Mosaic Law for consecration of firstborn sons and the mother's purification, and featuring the aged Anna and the prophet Simeon recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and Light of the World, based on the Gospel of Luke 2:22-40. Also called Candlemas or Hypapante (Eastern Orthodoxy) or The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this feast day involves blessing candles symbolizing Christ as light. Ee70
