Product Description

St. Anna was born of the priestly tribe of Levi, and lived a devout life as St. Joachim’s wife for 50 years, but remained childless. God heard their supplications and sent His Archangel Gabriel to give them the assurance that she would conceive and bear “a daughter most blessed….through whom will come the salvation of the world.” From them was born the Most Holy Virgin Mary. They raised the child until she was three when they brought her to the Temple in Jerusalem, where the Theotokos would dedicate herself to God alone.
