The patronage of this church has been entrusted to Saint Simeon, who is mentioned in the New Testament. According to the biblical account by Luke, he and the prophetess Anna were the two people present in the Temple in Jerusalem forty days after the birth of Jesus Christ, when Mary and Joseph—following Jewish custom—entered the Temple with their firstborn son and an offering (two doves). The Evangelist records the following prayer on the occasion of this encounter between the elderly Simeon and Jesus as the promised Messiah: "Now, Lord, you are releasing your servant in peace, according to your word. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel." (Luke 2:29-32)

Simeon is an old man from the time of Jesus Christ who was told by God that he would not die until he saw the Messiah. Imagine the anguish he had seeing himself aging day after day. But one day, in front of the Temple of Jerusalem, he saw Mary and Joseph bringing their son Jesus, to fulfill the Law of Moses, like good practitioners. Then Simeon took the child: "Now Lord, you may let your servant go in peace according to your word, for my eyes have seen the Savior whom you are preparing, Light to enlighten the Greeks, and Glory of your chosen people." Simeon's canticle is also called the "Nunc Dimitis". It is sung every night before going to sleep by all the priests and all the men and women religious of the Catholic Church throughout the world.
