Many of the images of Saint Joachim and Anne, the
Mother of Mary and of course the grandparents of Jesus, depict a loving couple.
At one time, July 26
was the feast of St. Anne only, but in the new calendar the two feasts of the
parents of Mary are celebrated together. According to early writings 170,
Joachim was a prominent and respected man who had no children. In answer to
Anne’s and Joachim’s prayers, Mary was born and was dedicated to God at a very
early age.
In many countries
Grandparents Day is celebrated. The feast of Saint Anne and Joachim is a
wonderful opportunity us to also celebrate our Grandparents
