The Significance of Saint Anna Mother of Virgin Mary

According to Christian tradition, Saint Anne (also Ann or Anna) was the mother of the Virgin Mary. Born of the Davidic lineage, her name is a Greek rendering of the Hebrew Hannah, meaning "Grace."

Saint Anne is not named in the canonical Gospels or anywhere else in the New Testament. According to the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of James, Anne and her husband Joachim, after years of childlessness, prayed desperately for God to bless them with a child. They were eventually visited separately by an angel who told them that their prayer had been answered. Anne promised to dedicate the child to God's service. After she gave birth to Mary, the couple gave the child to the service of the Temple in Jerusalem when she was three years old.
