Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple

Troparion:

Hail, Mother of God, Virgin full of grace. From you has

shown forth the Sun of Justice, Christ our God, shining upon

those who are in darkness. Rejoice also, you just Elder, Simeon;

for you received in your arms the Redeemer of our souls, Who

has given us Resurrection.

Kontakion:

O Christ our God, through Your birth You sanctified the

Virgin's womb; and blessed, as it was proper, the hands of

Simeon. Today, You have come to bring us deliverance. Give

peace to nations at war, and strengthen our civil authorities,

for You alone love mankind.

Prokimen: My soul extols the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

Feast of the Presentation of our Lord in the Temple

‘Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the confidence

of things not seen.’ (Heb. 11; 1) The feast of the Encounter

between Our Lord and Simeon is a celebration of centuries

of confidence in things not yet realized but promised by

God, salvation and complete union with God. This feast

celebrates the fact the God keeps His promises! Not only

does God keep His promises to a chosen people through a

purified lineage and a virgin mother but also to particular

individuals. God revealed his plans to a prophetess-Anna,

who as an 84 year old widow never left the temple

‘worshipping and fasting and prayer night and day’, and a

just man, Simeon.

Luke’s Gospel speaks of Simeon as a just man ‘waiting

for the Consolation of Israel’ and for his personal

consolation: ‘And it had been revealed to him by the Holy

Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen

the Christ of the Lord.’ Holding the Messiah in his arms

Simeon proclaimed; ‘Now You may dismiss Your servant

O Lord, according to Your word in peace. Because my eyes

have seen Your salvation, which You prepared before the

face of all peoples; A light to the revelation of the Gentiles,

and the glory of Your people, Israel.’ Anna also; ‘gave

thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for

the redemption of Jerusalem.’

The feast of the Presentation is actually the first

encounter of Jesus with His people. Christ comes to the

midst of the temple, the gathering-place of all the people of

God and even some Gentiles assembled to pray and fulfill

the laws of God handed down by Moses. Jesus too, wishing

to be like us in all things, save sin, that He might sanctify

every aspect of human life except sin, enters the Temple

carried by His mother and accompanied by St. Joseph to

make the customary offerings of 2 turtledoves or pigeons.

Mary submits to the rite of Purification as an act of

obedience to the customary laws.

Simeon then prophesies; ‘Behold, this child is set for the

fall and rising of many in Israel; a sign that will be

contradicted…’ the fall of unbelievers the rising of believers

through the waters of baptism. Through the Cross Christ

becomes a sign of contradiction. He is sinless, yet becomes

sin for us, the people He came to save turned against him,

and He becomes a social outcast and dies a criminal’s death

on a cross. In opposing directions of the Cross, Christ

gathers all peoples without discrimination, ‘as a hen gathers

her chicks under her wings.’ Christ comes to all to save all,

to bring us back to unity with God, without exclusion.

The Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple

and Encounter is a feast of hope and encouragement. We

need faith and hope shown in the feasts of the liturgical year

to remind ourselves that God is still in charge of the

world no matter how much evil there is in it. We need to be

reminded that in the fullness of time, God is acting. ‘I will

not leave you orphans…We will come to him and make our

home in him…the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father

will send in my name, will teach you all things, and bring

to your remembrance all things that I have said to you.’

Стрітення Господнє

"Радуйся благодатна, Богородице Діво, бо з Тебе

засяяло Сонце правди Христос Бог наш, що

просвічує тих, що в темряві" (Тропар празника).

Різдвяне коло свят завершується празником

Господнього Стрітення, який святкуємо 2 лютого, на

сороковий день після Христового Різдва. Цей празник

своїм змістом тісно пов'язаний з Христовим Різдвом, бо

як у Різдві, так і тут Христос при своїм пожертвуванні

у святині об'являє нам Свою божественність. Від

зустрічі Божої Дитини і Його Пресвятої Матері

з праведним Симеоном і сам празник у Східній Церкві

називається Стрітення.

Пречиста Діва Марія, як Божа Мати, не була

зобов'язана до обряду очищення, бо освятилася

Христовим Різдвом, як каже кондак празника: "Утробу

Дівичу освятив Ти різдвом Твоїм". Та все-таки вона

в покорі виконує припис закону і приносить у жертву

дві горлиці.

На окрему увагу заслуговує тут ще зустріч Божого

Дитяти і його Пречистої Матері з праведним Симеоном.

Святий Лука каже, що Симеон "був праведний та

побожний, очікував утіхи Ізраїля, і Дух Святий був на

ньому. Йому було відкрито Святим Духом, що не

бачитиме смерти перш, ніж побачить Христа

Господа" (2, 25-26). За Божим просвіченням Симеон у

Дитятку Ісусі пізнає Месію, бере Його на свої руки і

гарною молитвою дякує Господеві Богу за ласку, що

його очі побачили обіцяного Спасителя. Наша Церква

відправу вечірні кожного разу завершує молитвою

Симеона "Нині відпускаєш". Старець Симеон пророкує

Пресвятій Богородиці її майбутню жертву і терпіння

задля Ісуса Христа.

Дух богослужби Стрітення є той самий, що й дух

Христового Різдва і Богоявлення: прославити

Богоявлення на землі, звеличити Христове божество

та віддати честь Пречистій Діві Марії, як Богоматері.

Сьогодні Симеон бере на руки Господа слави, що

його спершу Мойсей у темряві бачив, як на Синайській

горі давав йому таблиці... Творець неба й землі сьогодні

носиться на руках старцем Симеоном".

Свята Церква, бачачи велике таїнство Богоявлення

і Божої любови до нас, закликає своїх вірних до

прослави Христа Господа: "Хай ангельський хор

чудується, а ми земними голосами заспіваймо пісню,

бачачи невимовне Боже зшестя. Той, що перед

Ним дрижать небесні сили, Його сьогодні обіймають

старечі руки єдиного Чоловіколюбця" (Сідален утрені). о. Юліян Катрій, ЧСВВ. "Пізнай свій обряд"
