    In its semantic context, the Feast of the Meeting has a double meaning. On the one hand, this feast is dedicated to Christ, because an episode from His life is remembered. On the other hand, it is dedicated to the Theotokos, because on this day Simeon the Hospitaller said important words to Her: ‘...and to You Yourself the arms shall pass through the soul, - that the thoughts of many hearts may be opened’ (Lk.2:35). With this, Simeon foretold the Experiences of the Mother of God, who saw the Sufferings of Christ and subsequently took the whole human race under Her care.
