Gospel according to Luke "Every first-born male will be consecrated to the Lord" - "When the eighth day arrived, the day of circumcision, the child received the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived. When the day fixed by the Law of Moses for purification arrived, Jesus' parents took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, according to what is written in the Law: Every first-born male shall be consecrated to the Lord. They also came to offer the sacrifice prescribed by the Law of the Lord: a pair of turtle-doves or small doves. Now, there was a man in Jerusalem named Symeon. He was a righteous and religious man, who was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. The Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death until he had seen the Lord's Messiah. Moved by the Spirit, Symeon came to the Temple. The parents entered with the infant Jesus to perform the rites of the Law concerning him. Simeon took the child in his arms, and blessed God, saying: "Now, O Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all peoples: a light to enlighten the heathen nations, and the glory of your people Israel".
