Simeon and Anna – Craft

When Jesus was still a baby, Joseph and Mary took Him to the Temple.
The Jewish law said that the parents of a new baby needed to do some special things to bless the child.

They were to bring animals to sacrifice to God. So Jesus’ parents took two birds to the Temple to sacrifice.

The Bible says that there was a godly man named Simeon. He was very old. He had been waiting for God’s Messiah to come to save His people.

God had told him that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah.
On the day that Jesus was in the Temple, God sent Simeon to the Temple also. When Simeon saw Jesus, he knew that He was the Messiah!

Simeon took Jesus in his arms and praised God. He said, “Lord, now I can die in peace. have seen the Savior you have given to all people. He is a light to lead all people to God
