The Presentation of the Christ in the Temple (Hypapante), described in Luke 2:22–38 and commemorated annually on February 2, appeared in monumental church art from the pre-iconoclastic period onward. The Hypapante was often featured in cycles of monumental images in post-iconoclastic Byzantine churches. This paper explores the inclusion of church furniture, liturgical objects, and ritual gestures in the iconography of the Hypapante, arguing that these details connected the biblical event and feast with the ongoing celebration of the Eucharist in Byzantine churches.
