Jesus and the prophetess Anna: She talked about the child to everyone who had been waiting expectantly for God to rescue Jerusalem. Luke 2:38

The Gospel of Luke is perhaps the most detailed text in describing the infancy, that is, the first years of the life of the Lord Jesus; and this is done by recounting very special details in the life of the new child. For the evangelist Luke, the birth of the Lord was the fulfillment of the covenant between God and David through the prophet Nathan, the announced Messiah in the Old Testament, and with these words the gospel confirms this idea when the Angel Gabriel communicated to Mary the conception of Jesus: "The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. Your son will be king of Jacob's people forever, and his kingdom will never end" Luke 1:32-33.
But the divinity of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke does not end here, after the visit of the shepherds in Bethlehem where Jesus was born, the time came to present the child in the temple to consecrate him to God as the law ordered, and it was there that the child met two notable figures, the prophet Simeon and the prophetess Anna.
The gospel relates that Simeon was a man filled with the Holy Spirit, and that he was a pious and upright person, and that guided by the Spirit he found Jesus and his family in the temple, and there after blessing them he prophesied to Mary the destiny of Jesus.
And after this, the figure of Anna appears. The gospel of Luke does not tell much about Anna, an elderly widow who feared God and wanted to see the fulfillment of the Lord's promises about the Messiah, and the sacred scriptures described Anna's actions with these simple words: "She never left the Temple but stayed there day and night, worshiping God with fasting and prayer. She came along just as Simeon was talking with Mary and Joseph, and she began praising God. She talked about the child to everyone who had been waiting expectantly for God to rescue Jerusalem" Luke 2:37-38.
Simeon and Anna are characters that appear in the gospels to anticipate the mission of Jesus and the action of the Kingdom of God among men; with them, the action of providence showed its invisible power to determine the destiny of humanity.
