St. Anne, The Mother of Mary

The memorial date is shared by both Anne and Joachim, the parents of Mary. In the sixth century a feast for Anne was already celebrated in the Eastern Church. Devotion to Anne, introduced in the eighth century in Rome, became widespread in Europe in the fourteenth century. A feast for Joachim was introduced a century later in the West. The Memorial Date of St. Anne is July 26th.
