Anna the prophet that is, who appears in the story of the \u201cpurification\u201d of the Blessed Virgin Mary forty days after giving birth to Jesus. The Lukan account of this event (Luke 2:22-38) keeps the woman prophet, Anna, silent while putting beautiful words into the mouth of Simeon. These words, known as the \u201cNunc Dimittis,\u201d became an important part of the liturgical tradition of prayers. The summary description of Anna as giving thanks to God and witnessing to others about this child remain in the background. No specific words of hers are recorded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But while Anna remains wordless in the Gospel according to Luke, in Christian visual art, she actually begins to speak, either via hand-gestures or via a scroll with words written on it. I discovered one such telling representation of Anna in the recent exhibition of Armenian art and culture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. There, an early fourteenth-century illumination showed Anna making a distinct hand gesture, one that signals acclamation. The artist was drawing on a tradition of an earlier, Graeco-Roman system of hand-gestures that Christian artists had adopted to \u201cspeak\u201d their own messages. And this Armenian Anna certainly did speak to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it gets even better: In other depictions of the Presentation in the Temple, Anna actually displays her own words, on an opened scroll (although sometimes the scroll is rolled-up). The words she proclaims vary but all of them are weighty. Think of the one in the fifth-century apse mosaic in Santa Maria Maggiore: \u201cBlessed is the womb that bore you.\u201d Or this one from a fifteenth-century Byzantine panel: \u201cThis child created heaven and earth.\u201d Sometimes, the scroll identifies Anna too: \u201cThe prophet Anna: Thanks be to God,\u201d a fourteenth-century scroll says. [If you are interested in further details, see the wonderful little essay by Jessica Savage over at the Princeton Index of Medieval Art:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ima.princeton.edu\/2018\/02\/08\/widows-window-to-the-presentation-prophetess-anna-in-\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/ima.princeton.edu\/2018\/02\/08\/widows-window-to-the-presentation-prophetess-anna-in-<\/a><br> the-temple\/].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I think in honor of the Feast of the Presentation, I will give my picture of the Armenian Anna<br>some words to say too. I find that Anna the prophet can be very eloquent if we only let her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"287\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-2-3-287x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-2-3-287x400.jpg 287w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-2-3-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-2-3.jpg 459w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><figcaption><br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-3-4-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-3-4-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-3-4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-3-4.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-4-4-533x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-4-4-533x400.jpg 533w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-4-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-4-4-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/0-4-4.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;while Anna remains wordless in the Gospel according to Luke, in Christian visual art, she actually begins to speak, either via hand-gestures or via a scroll with words written on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":45541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[3119,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-plaza-new-ws","category-art-and-architecture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Feast of the Presentation: Anna&#039;s Eloquence - Home<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2019\/02\/02\/feast-of-the-presentation-annas-eloquence\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Feast of the Presentation: Anna&#039;s Eloquence\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"February 2 -- the \u201cFeast of the Presentation of the Lord,\u201d as it is now titled \u2013 always makes me think of Anna.
