"Now there was a man in Jerusalem
called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the
consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had
been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die
before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Moved by the Spirit, he went
into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus
to do for Him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took Him
in his arms and praised God" (Luke
2:25-28).
