Τὸ γεγονὸς τῆς Ὑπαπαντῆς, ποὺ ἐξιστορεῖ ὁ Εὐαγγελιστὴς Λουκᾶς στὸ β’ κεφάλαιο τὸ Εὐαγγελίου του, συνέβη σαράντα ἡμέρες μετὰ τὴν γέννηση τοῦ Ἰησοῦ. Σύμφωνα μὲ τὸν Μωσαϊκὸ Νόμο, ἂν τὸ πρῶτο παιδὶ τῆς οἰκογένειας ἦταν ἀγόρι, ἀφιερωνόταν στὸν Θεὸ καὶ συγχρόνως προσφερόταν γιὰ θυσία ἕνας ἀμνὸς ἢ ἕνα ζευγάρι τρυγόνια ἢ δυὸ μικρὰ περιστέρια. Τὸ γράμμα τῶν ἐντολῶν αὐτῶν πληροῦντες ὁ Ἰωσὴφ καὶ ἡ Παρθένος Μαρία, ἀνῆλθαν τὴν τεσσαρακοστὴ ἡμέρα ἀπὸ τῆς γεννήσεως τοῦ Χριστοῦ στὸ ναὸ τῶν Ἱεροσολύμων, γιὰ νὰ προσφέρουν τὸν Ἰησοῦ στὸν Θεὸ καὶ νὰ δώσουν τὴν θυσία περὶ καθαρισμοῦ. Τὸ ζευγάρι ὑποδέχθηκε στὸ ναὸ ὁ ὑπερήλικας Προφήτης Συμεών, ὁ ὁποῖος δέχθηκε τὸν Ἰησοῦ στὴν ἀγκαλιά του φωτισμένος ἀπὸ τὸ Ἅγιο Πνεῦμα, ἔχοντας λάβει ἀποκάλυψη ἀπὸ Αὐτὸ ὅτι δὲν θὰ ἀπέθνησκε πρωτοῦ δεῖ Ἐκεῖνον, τὸν ὁποῖο ὁ Κύριος καὶ Θεὸς ἔχρισε Βασιλέα καὶ Σωτῆρα τοῦ κόσμου.
