When Jesus Christ was eight days old they named him as they had been told; name of our Saviour and our Lord, spoken to Mary- Gabriel's word. And when the proper time had come, they too him to Jerusalem; there in the temple court they prayed and for the boy and offering made. 'Lord, let this child be all your own, and in his life you will be done!' And on that day, before he died the aged Simeon prophesied: 'Now let your servant go in peace: these eyes have seen your saving grace; a light to lighten all the world- the joy of heaven, the son of God!'
