Luke 2:36-38

36There was also a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old, having been married to her husband for seven years until his death.

37She had lived as a widow since then for eighty-four years. She never left the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day.

38At that moment, she came up to them and began to give thanks to God and to speak about the child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
