This scene portrays the moment in Luke 2:22–38 when Mary and Joseph bring the infant Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord, in accordance with Jewish law. The priest Simeon, who had been promised he would not die before seeing the Messiah, receives the Christ Child with joy. The image captures Simeon’s blessing of Jesus and Mary’s faithful obedience. The basket with two doves symbolizes the sacrificial offering made by a humble family. This moment emphasizes Christ’s fulfillment of the law and His consecration as the light for revelation to the Gentiles and glory for Israel.
