The thing that I found the most interesting about this passage was the two people Simeon and Anna. They were two people that I haven’t heard about and are forgotten in the story of Jesus’ youth.
What was fascinating was that they knew their purpose was to be in a place that God can use them and they were two of the first people to welcome the Messiah into the world. I find the thing that Simeon said to Mary to be quite telling "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too."

I am going to bring up the part about how Jesus was left in Jerusalem on accident. How big of groups did they travel in that they didn't notice that he was gone. I'm sure that was an interesting caravan. I would also guess that they didn't use cruise control to moon people that they passed. (I had to put that in there after writing the word caravan.)
