Meeting of the Lord Candlemas Framed Canvas Icon

This icon depicts the infant Christ being brought into the Temple by His Mother and Saint Joseph, where He is received into the arms of the elder Simeon, a righteous man who had long been promised that he would not die before beholding the Lord's Messiah with his own eyes. Beside Simeon stands the prophetess Anna, who likewise recognised in this child the redemption for which Jerusalem had waited so long. Known as Candlemas or the Meeting of the Lord, this feast marks a quiet yet profound encounter between the long expectation of the Old Covenant and its fulfilment in the New, the very moment Simeon could finally declare that his eyes had seen the salvation of God. This icon makes a meaningful gift for the elderly, for godparents, or for anyone who has waited long in faith for the fulfilment of a promise.

“Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation.” (Luke 2:29-30)

O Christ our God, whom righteous Simeon held in his arms and called the salvation of the world, grant that we too may behold Thee with the eyes of faith, and depart this life in the same peace that he was granted. Amen.

This framed canvas makes a beautiful and cherished gift for baptisms, name days, Christmas, Easter, or any occasion where the Orthodox faith is celebrated.
