St.+Anne+Project+AK2

The name of my saint is St. Anne. I chose this saint because St. Anne is the Mother of Mary and her feast day is on my grandmother's birthday. I also chose this saint because Anne is my middle name and I wanted to do a saint that uses one of my names. I also have done a project about her in the past and I wanted to learn more about St. Anne.

St. Anne was born in Bethlehem. St. Anne later then married Joachim from Nazareth in Galilee. Anne and Joachim had no children together until an angel appeared to them and said to name their daughter Mary and dedicate her to God. After Mary's birth, Anne and Joachim dedicated Mary to God at the temple in Jerusalem. When Mary was three years old, Anne and Joachim led her up to the Temple. They both saw Mary go up to the Temple by herself into the inner sanctuary. When Mary was at the age of fourteen, Anne and Joachim engaged her to be married to Joseph of Nazareth. Anne was left childless in her old age and was in need of her purest earthly joy when she needed it most. Anne respected the Divine Will and began to pray. St. Anne's feast day is on July 26 and she is the patron saint of mothers and women in labor.

St. Anne demonstrated One in her life because she dedicated Mary to God when she was told by the angel. Anne was still hopeful to have a child because she kept on praying to God that she and Joachim would have a baby. When Anne was in need for help, she would always pray to God and respected the Divine Will. St. Anne also demonstrated Holy in her life because she taught Mary and brought her to be the worthy Mother of God. The parenting of Anne and Joachim that Mary followed was passed down to Jesus. It was Anne and Joachim's faith that laid courage and strength that allowed Mary to stand by the cross where Jesus was crucified.

St. Anne has always been positive even though she didn't have a child until an angel came up to her. Anne believed in Mary in what she did when she was taking care of Jesus. St. Anne is very encouraging and helps people in what they do. Even in St. Anne's darkest times, she would always pray to make things better. St. Anne was there for Mary when Jesus was being crucified. St. Anne is the role model for people who are in need and people who mothers or expectant mothers.
