Presentation in Temple Icon (Met) Version 1

PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE ICON (MET)

This icon is a reproduction of a 15th century Cretan icon of Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (or “Meeting of Jesus in the Temple). It is one of our “decorative” or “mute” icons — it is merely a reproduction of an image, as opposed to our “talking” icons, which display quotes from Scripture when touched.

Our icons are created for private use and display in churches and other places in SL. They should not be resold or adapted for resale. Their size and position can be modified. Copy and Transfer permissions depend upon the particular version of the icon purchased.

ABOUT THIS ICON

This is a Byzantine icon dating from the 15th century, now owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is a depiction of the Hypapante, the Meeting of Jesus in the Temple or Presentation. From the web page for this icon at the Met: “The Hypapante is one of the Great Feasts of the Orthodox church. According to the Gospel of Luke (2:22–38), when Joseph (far left) and the Virgin (center) presented Christ in the temple for the rite of purification forty days after his birth, his divinity was immediately recognized by Simeon (right) and the prophetess Anna (left).” For more information, https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/435828. This icon is in the public domain.
