      Saint Anne is the mother of Mary, the mother of God, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ, which is not attested to in the biblical texts. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal writings (that is, writings that are not included in the canon of the Bible), for example in the so-called "Protoevangelium of James". There is no historically reliable information about the life of Anna, but there are numerous stories that have been handed down, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patroness of the Annakirche in Düren (NRW), where a piece of her skullcap is kept as a relic.
      In the church calendar, the memorial day of Saint Anne - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.
