United In Prayer - Presentation of the Lord to the Temple (Armenian Orthodox Church)
“Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts” (Luke 2: 27)
Your birth sanctified a Virgin's womb and properly blessed the hands of Symeon. Having now come and saved us O Christ our God, give peace to Your commonwealth in troubled times and strengthen those in authority, whom You love, as only the loving One (Kontakion of the Presentation of the Lord to the Temple, First Tone, from the Orthodox Church).
