Two festal sermons that come down under the name of St. Methodius, one on Simeon and Anna meeting the Christ Child in the Temple, the other on the Lord's entry into Jerusalem. Scholars think they were written somewhat later than his time.

Both are full of the same joy as the hymns we sing on those feasts.
