  2. Explication du texte

Why are we told about Anna’s devotional life?

Luc 2:37 (NEG79)

37 Restée veuve, et âgée de quatre-vingt-quatre ans, elle ne quittait pas le temple, et elle servait Dieu nuit et jour dans le jeûne et dans la prière.

Anna’s commitment to serving and worshipping the Lord is highlighted to affirm that she is a godly woman and thus someone whose testimony can be trusted. The mention of fasting might also indicate a hope that God will come to set things right.1
