Luke 2:36-38 ▼

36 Now Anna, a prophetess, was also there. She was a descendant of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was very old, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage,

37 and then as a widow for 84 years. She never left the Temple, but continued to worship there night and day with times of fasting and prayer.

38 Just then she came forward and began to thank God and to speak about Jesus to everyone who was waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
