[edit] Last sentence
Last sentence: "In the 4th and 15th centuries, a belief arose that Mary was born of Anna by virgin birth. This was denied as an error by the Vatican in 1677."
Should this read "In the 14th and 15th centuries..."?
Also does anyone know why St Anne is commonly depicted wearing red and green robes?

saint ann was a very respectful person ....
[edit] This is a biased assertment, is it not?
"Families that are truly Christian love the Family of Nazareth, but they also honor the parents of Mary, especially Saint Anne who bore and gave birth to her. How glorious to give birth to one who would be the Mother of God! May we who have devotion to you, Saint Anne, obtain even more devotion to Mary and the greatest devotion to Christ, your grandson. Amen"
The above text is found at the bottom of the box on the right of the article. Is this a quote from somewhere, or is this just something someone stuck in?

[edit] Life
I think, St. Anne has lived in the Bretagne, didn´t she? When I was there, I heared that. - 21.08.07, 18:23 Uhr —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.77.237.143 (talk) 16:23, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Saint Anne
Her Virtues are faith, knowledge, and patience. You can imitate these things by gaining knowledge, being patient, and going to church to show faith. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.80.156 (talk) 03:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] What?????
Saint Anne is the Mother of the Blessed Virgin! The angel Gabriel appeared to her and said "You shall conceive a child"! In reply Anne said "Why shall it be a male or a female"? " So thank you God for this amazing gift!!! "

[edit] statues
I'm parking "more elaborate carved statuettes open up to reveal Mary inside Anna with Christ in turn inside her" here for now, as though it sounds highly plausible, I can't find references - such works must be pretty rare. Johnbod (talk) 16:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
