[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] what is?

[Jack Milner]

This e-mail made me curious, so for a more elaborate description I 
googled  key words [Latin "nunc dimittis " translate].  A partial 
segment of the whole definition shown below with a lot more info at 
this  site:

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-nunc-dimittis.htm

"The section of the Bible which the Nunc dimittis comes from documents 
the presentation of the infant Jesus in Jerusalem. A devout Jew named 
Simeon has been told by God that he would not die until he saw the 
Saviour; the Nunc dimittis puts the words of Simeon upon seeing the 
infant Jesus to song. It begins with the phrase Nunc dimittis, servum 
tuum, "now you have dismissed your servant," and continues with words of 
praise and joy."
