The Gospel of Luke (II,22-39) narrates that Mary and Joseph took baby Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem forty days after his birth, to ‘offer him’ to God. All first-born male children went through this ceremony in compliance with the command of the Exodus. During their visit, they met Simeon, who had been told that he would not die before seeing the Messiah. Simeon praised the Lord with the words that are now known as the Song of Simeon.
