Gospel, Luke 2:36-40
There was a prophetess, too, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was
well on in years. Her days of girlhood over, she had been married for seven years before
becoming a widow. She was now eighty-four years old and never left the Temple, serving
God night and day with fasting and prayer. She came up just at that moment and began to
praise God; and she spoke of the child to all who looked forward to the deliverance of
Jerusalem. When they had done everything the Law of the Lord required, they went back
to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. And as the child grew to maturity, he was filled
with wisdom; and God's favour was with him.
