The Presentation by Fra Angelico |
Latin = now you are dismissing, the opening words of Simeon's song of praise on the occasion of the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple. After seeing Jesus, Simeon joyfully proclaims that he has seen God's salvation. Simenon had been promised by the Holy Spirit that he would not die without seeing the Saviour.
It is often set to music coupled with the Magnificat, as both are sung during the evening service (see Evening Canticles).
