I'm preparing a sermon on the prophet Anna, an 84 year-old widow in Luke 2. I don't notice any clues in the text that reveal her living situation. Was she being cared for by children? The text doesn't mention any children. Did she live in the Temple, since she was there praying day and night? Or is this story a myth pointing us to something else?
