Saint Ann

Saint Ann - mother of Mary and the grandmother of Jesus.  An ancient tradition, going back to the first half of the 2nd century, identifies the parents of Mary as Joachim and Ann.  In the 6th century at Constantinople a basilica was dedicated to St. Ann.  The grandparents of Jesus were honored in Jerusalem: a church of St. Ann has existed there since crusader times.  Many Catholics have visited Ste Anne de Beaupre in Canada, where the Patroness of Christian Mothers is specially reverenced.
