-According to Christian and Muslim tradition, '''Anne''' (''Hannah'') was the wife of [[Joachim]] and the mother of [[Mary of Nazareth]].
-==Overview==
-In the mid-2nd century CE, the [[Protoevangelium of James]] first introduced the characters of the parents of [[Mary of Nazareth]], [[Joachim]] and [[Anne]]. Similarly to Samuel's mother, Anne  was as a pious woman who was childless until her old age. Angels appeared to both her and her husband to announce the miraculous birth of Mary.
-The figure of Anne was included in the Golden Legend and remained popular in eastern and western Christian art and liturgy until the 16th century when the Reformation rejected the cult of saints and the Council of Trent restricted the depiction of apocryphal events in the Roman Catholic Church.
-[[Relics of Anne]] are preserved in churches in France, Germany, Italy, and Canada.
