It is interesting to note that at the entrance of the Child Jesus into the solemnity of the Temple, in the great comings and goings of many people busy with their work: priests and Levites, numerous devout people and pilgrims to encounter the God of Israel, yet none of them noticed anything.  Jesus was a child like the others, a first-born Son of very simple parents.  Even the priests proved incapable of recognizing the signs of the new and special presence of the Messiah and Savior.  Except for two senior members of the community, Simeon and Anna.
