Saints Simeon the God-accepter and Anna the Prophetess
February 3, in the Orthodox calendar, is the day of commemoration of St. Simeon and the Holy Prophetess Anna.
Simeon and Anna were righteous people who lived in Jerusalem at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Simeon was one of the translators of the Holy Scriptures from Hebrew into Greek, and he was promised that he would not die until he saw the Savior. Anna was a widow who devoted her life to prayer and fasting in the temple and had the gift of prophecy. Both met Mary and Joseph when they brought baby Jesus to the temple on the 40th day after His birth. Simeon took Jesus in his arms and glorified God, and Anna told everyone who was waiting for the liberation of Israel about the birth of the Messiah.

From the signs of this day:
February 3 is the day on which the weather is predicted for spring and summer. A sunny day promises an early spring, and a snowfall – a rainy summer. If the sparrows are chirping loudly – wait for warming, and if the forest is noisy – until the thaw. A clear night or a moon hiding in the clouds portends a good harvest.
