Simeon’s Song

Simeon, the old devout man who was hanging around the temple when Jesus came in to be dedicated and blessed as a baby, gave a blessing that has been recorded for eternity. It’s a weird blessing. It isn’t the typical song you’d sing for a baby dedication. It definitely doesn’t fit the mold of any Christmas Carols that we have heard recently. It is unique in many ways. There is one unique feature to Simeon’s song that is not found in the previous three songs we have explored this Christmas season. It’s a wonderful addition and … well it’s just going to be painful. Join us to find out what it means.
