The Presentation in the Temple, also known as the Purification of the Virgin or the Meeting of the Lord, is a scene from the New Testament that depicts the presentation of the baby Jesus in the Temple in Jerusalem. According to the Gospel of Luke, Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the Temple to fulfill the requirements of Jewish law, which mandated that a mother who had given birth to a male child must undergo a period of purification before being allowed to reenter the community. At the Temple, they encountered two elderly prophets, Simeon and Anna, who recognized Jesus as the Messiah and praised God for his arrival.
The Presentation in the Temple is significant in several ways. It highlights the obedience of Mary and Joseph to the laws and traditions of their faith, and underscores their commitment to raising Jesus as a faithful Jew. It also foreshadows the role that Jesus would play as a teacher and leader, as Simeon and Anna recognized him as the Messiah and praised God for his arrival.
The scene is often depicted as a peaceful and contemplative moment, with Mary and Joseph holding the baby Jesus, while Simeon and Anna look on with awe and wonder. The imagery of the Presentation in the Temple is often used to evoke themes of obedience, devotion, and recognition of the divine presence in the world.
The image of Mary holding the Christ Child is a common depiction in Christian art and is known as the "Madonna and Child." It represents the mother of Jesus and her son and is a symbol of motherhood, love, and compassion.
The G. Eric and Edith Matson Photograph Collection is a source of historical images of the Middle East. The majority of the images depict Palestine (present-day Israel and the West Bank) from 1898 to 1946. Most of the Library of Congress collection consists of over 23,000 glass and film photographic negatives and transparencies created by the American Colony Photo Department and its successor firm, the Matson Photo Service. The American Colony Photo Department in Jerusalem was one of several photo services operating in the Middle East before 1900. Catering primarily to the tourist trade, the American Colony and its competitors photographed holy sites, often including costumed actors recreating Biblical scenes. The firm’s photographers were residents of Palestine with knowledge of the land and people that gave them an advantage and made their coverage intimate and comprehensive. They documented Middle East culture, history, and political events from before World War I through the collapse of Ottoman rule, the British Mandate period, World War II, and the emergence of the State of Israel. The Matson Collection also includes images of people and locations in present-day Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Turkey. Additionally, the firm produced photographs from an East African trip. The collection came to the Library of Congress between 1966 and 1981, through a series of gifts made by Eric Matson and his beneficiary, the Home for the Aged of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Los Angeles (now called the Kensington Episcopal Home).
