I love thinking about Simeon holding Jesus in the temple singing about how his eyes have finally seen God that light to enlighten the nations.
The Feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
Today is the day that many Christians remember and honor the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, or the event in scripture when Mary and Joseph brought the infant Jesus to the Temple.
Simeon sang when he saw the infant Christ – and we still sing today.
Our families show us God in everyday life. Recognizing these moments is critical for our faith and the faith of our children.
Faith at Home: Planning Ahead to February
Take note! Ash Wednesday is Valentine’s Day this year.
The light of Christ shone for Simeon – and still shines today.
Little did Mary and Joseph know that their routine would bring them face-to-face with a man who had waited his whole life to behold their infant son.
