The prophetess' name was Anna. Luke 2:21-40 describes the presentation of the baby Jesus by Mary and Joseph in the temple. Verses 36-38 (NIV) state "There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then she was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them [Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus, and Simon] at that very moment, she have thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who where looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem."
