St. Anna Chapel Rascheid

Saint Anne is the mother of the Mother of God Mary, and thus the grandmother of Jesus Christ - not attested in the biblical texts. However, she is mentioned in apocryphal writings (i.e. not included in the canon of the Bible), for example in the so-called "Protoevangelium of James". There is no historically confirmed knowledge about the life of Anne, but there are numerous traditional stories, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patron saint of the Anne Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia), where a piece of her skullcap is kept as a relic.
In the church calendar, Saint Anne is commemorated - together with her husband Joachim - on July 26th.

Wonderful little church (chapel).

A quiet place for prayer.
