History:
Anna Summer (Galilee), according to legend, lived in Nazareth in the 1st century before the new era. Having married Joachim, she could not conceive for several decades. In those days, childlessness was a bad sign, and therefore Joachim decided to try to gain God’s grace by prayer in solitude in the desert. And a miracle happened: an Angel appeared to him, announcing the imminent appearance of Anna’s daughter. Beside himself with joy, Joachim hurried home, and soon the good news came true, and Anna had a daughter, who was named Mary – known from the holy scriptures as the Virgin Mary, who gave life to Jesus Christ.
