Products Description
According to the ancient tradition of the Church, since Saint Anna, the Ancestor of God, was barren, she and her husband Joachim remained without children until old age. Therefore, sorrowing over their childlessness, they besought God with a promise that, if He were to grant them the fruit of the womb, they would offer their offspring to Him as a gift.

And thus, through Gods promise, Anna conceived according to the laws of nature, and was deemed worthy to become the mother of the Mother of our Lord
