Description

In ancient Jewish tradition, parents had to bring their baby to the Temple forty days after the birth and offer two turtledoves as a sacrifice. Mary and Joseph, keen to do the right thing, followed this law carefully. 

Tradition holds that Simeon, the God-Receiver, was one of the seventy-two translators who, under orders from the Egyptian ruler Ptolemy II (around 285–246 BC), turned the Hebrew scriptures into Greek for the famous Library of Alexandria. Doubting the Prophet Isaiah's vision about the birth of a Saviour from a Virgin, Simeon was given a mission from above: he wouldn't die until he'd seen Christ for himself and held Him. 

In the icon "The Meeting of the Lord," Mary stands on the left, holding Christ, with Joseph just behind her. On the right, Simeon the God-Receiver reaches out his hands—covered with a cloth as a mark of respect—towards the baby Jesus, with the prophetess Anna standing nearby. 

A canopy with drapery, known as a ciborium, rises on columns above the throne to show that this scene takes place in a temple. Its iconographic type follows the pattern of the ciborium in the Hagia Sophia of Constantinople, once the principal church of the Byzantine Empire.

Feast day - February 15.

Materials

  • natural wooden board (lime, pine, alder) with oak splines,
  • cloth from low-count fabric (linen, canvas),
  • gesso,
  • tempera paints (ground minerals, precious and semiprecious stones mixed with egg yolk)
  • gold leaf of various hues,
  • tinted wax,
  • linseed oil,
  • hide glue,

Decorations

This icon has a handcarved rectangular central panel. Decorated with gold-plating of the margins, the background, the halos and other elements of the icon; gold-painting on the vestments. 

This icon can be additionally adorned with wrought silver, a metal or textile oklad, precious and semiprecious gemstones.

We recommend placing this icon in an opening or a non-opening icon case made of oak or birchwood.
