United in Prayer - Presentation of the Lord to the Temple (Coptic Orthodox Church)

“When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God” (Luke 2: 27-28)

We worship the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Holy and Co-Essential Trinity. Hail to the Church, the house of the angels. Hail to the Virgin, who gave birth to our Saviour. Thy Body and Thy Blood: are the forgiveness of our sins: with the New Testament: that Thou gave to Thy disciples. Hail to you, O Mary, the fair dove, who brought forth unto us, God the Logos. Hail to you, O Mary, a holy hail. Hail to you, O Mary, the Mother of the Holy (Verses of Cymbals from the Coptic Orthodox Church).
