Luke 2:36-38 ▼

36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years and had lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage,

37 and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She did not leave the temple grounds, serving night and day with fasts and prayers.

38 And at that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak about Him to all those who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
