DECEMBER 19TH

One of our Temple reporters spotted Mary and Joseph in line to have Jesus confirmed.  The moment Mary handed Jesus to Simeon the old man began exclaiming about how he thought he’d never live to see this day and then he had to spoil things by saying the life of Jesus and that of his mother would be marked by sorrow.  An elder woman minister, named Anna, came over to see whom Simeon was carrying on about.  Upon seeing the child she added her confirmation blessings.
