On this fortieth day after Christmas, we celebrate Mary and Joseph bringing the Christ Child to the Temple in Jerusalem. It was there that Jesus was greeted by Simeon and Anna.
THE COLLECT FOR THE PRESENTATION
Almighty and everliving God, we humbly pray that, as your only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple, so we may be presented to you with pure and clean hearts by Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
