Since Saint Anne is not mentioned in the four gospels, little is known about her life. Saint Anne was born in Bethlehem. In her early life she spent most of her days in the church. She would pray often, especially for a child. One day while she was praying, an angel appeared to her and told her she would give birth to Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. She was so excited and happy that she promised God she would devote this child to Him. Saint Anne raised Mary for Jesus, and she read her scripture everyday. Saint Anne dedicated Mary to the Temple of God. She would leave her at the temple everyday to be with God by herself. Just before the presentation in the temple, Saint Anne passed away.
