The presentation of Christ in the Temple. The infant Jesus is held in the arms of Simeon, who blesses Him (Luke 2:28) and voices the words of the canticle Nunc Dimittis (vv.29-32). Mary kneels in the foreground, with Joseph standing in the background. Also present is Anna the daughter of Phanuel, the prophetess, who also praises God for His Christ (vv.36-38). In the foreground is the cage containing the two doves, the ordained sacrifice at the presentation (v.24).
