Is it true that theimmaculate conception was rejected in 1677? This conflicts with what we have in the immaculate conception article. I'm not sure which is right, maybe both are, but the two stories should match.Wesley
I need a ruling on this: I think it would be better to put all info on "Anna also known as Saint Anne" onto a pageSaint Anne. (This Is The English Language Wikipedia TM, yadda yadda) (Other saints are underSaint Whatever). What say you all?
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..."? the 14th would be more accurite
Also does anyone know why St Anne is commonly depicted wearing red and green robes?

"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?

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 precedingunsigned comment was added by88.77.237.143 (talk) 16:23, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
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)[reply]
I heard that in the Middle Ages, her head was supposedly preserved in over seven different locations simultaneously, and that the Catholic Church formally recognised them all! Might be a little something to add.92.11.124.93 (talk)23:57, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! How come the feast of St. Anne is celebrated on the 9th of December in many countries? For example, in Sweden (protestants) and in Greece (eastern orthodox church) we celebrate St. Anne in December and not in July as this article states. Do Catholics celebrate St. Anne another day? Maybe we should clarify the dates of the feasts?Pel thal (talk)21:46, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
With respect, wondering if the honorific "Saint" is specific to Catholicism, whereas Protestants and other Christians might recognize and revere Anne without necessarily referring to her sainthood. Also wondering if referring to Anne by this honorific is consistent with WP:MOS, and consistent with the manner of reference applied to other religious figures. -Aquib (talk)04:05, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Saint Anne is said to be the patron of turesesners. Is that a real word? I can't find a definition for it anywhere.— Precedingunsigned comment added by94.4.241.201 (talk)19:50, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No mention in this article of St Anne's mother, who I understand was Emerentia.Nor is Emerentia featured in any article on WP. This seems to be a big oversight, both for this article and for WP as a whole. Anyone up for creating an article on Emerentia, or adding a section here?Riversider(talk)13:51, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just wanted to suggest adding something about St. Anne's relation to the Pagan goddess Anu. Some think that St. Anne was adopted from this mother goddess of fertility."In Christendom, the lady usually took on the guise of St. Anne,however, in order to smooth the path of conversion. This saint’s popularityin Brittany probably stems from the previous worship of the Celtic Goddessthere. Anu was also the patroness of springs and fountains, hence thenumerous St. Anne’s Wells throughout Britain today."

In doing some research do to some other works I have found that one needs to look at all books of the scriptures. Anna is mentioned in the New Testaments St Luke 2:36 And there was one Anna, A Prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe Aser:she was of great age,and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity.2:37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the Temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.2:38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks to the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
She is mentioned again the in the book titled LOST BOOKS OF THE BIBLE by William Hone as the mother of Mary. Mary's father being Joachim of Galilee and the city of Nazareth and Anna of Bethlehem.As mentioned in the first chapter verse 1 and 2.
The tribe ASER.. modern ASHER was assigned by Joshua to Western Galilee one of the 10 lost tribes of Israel.
So conclusions since Anna father was of Aser which is where the House of David was from so then both parents were from the House of DAVID.. SO the Jews were angry for that very reason. Remember the part when of thy sons shall leave thy mother and father an d take up with the chosen wives family so Jochium being of the house of .....— Precedingunsigned comment added by24.113.172.50 (talk)15:12, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am sure Anne is worshiped (venerated) in Roman Catholicism and in various Eastern Churches, but, as a Baptist I can confirm that we do not "venerate" any Saint, according to the New Testament, after all, we are all saints, our praise and honor is to God and His Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary did not merit the Lord to grace her womb, she was a sinner as we all, yet honored by God in the way she was, she no doubt had and has many virtues, but neither her, nor Anne, nor Joseph, Paul, Peter or any of our predecessors in Christ is to be "venerated" prayed to or worshiped in any way.You could title that the "Baptist position" or more widely, and probably less accurately the "Protestant position" as well, we believe this simply to be the doctrine of the Word of God.
Therefore Anne is not venerated in "All Christianity", unless Baptists and every Protestant Church are not Christians at all, (excepting the various national and liturgical Lutheran, Anglican and Presbyterian churches which observe feast days and such for "special saints.")LikkerdySplit (talk)10:32, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot get a handle on when the Orthodox churches think her feast day is at all. It doesn't help that no source I can find says if it is using theRevised Julian calendar or theJulian calendar. The Dormition of Saint Anna is the 25th July (which 25th July?), but some sites then say her feast day is September the 9th. I would be happy to see a cited edit but feel that uncited dates should continue to be removed.Pinkbeast (talk)01:47, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
i think that would be better if the Article Merge withJoachim, Wikipedia already has articles for multiple people, such asCain and Abel,Adam and Eve andAnanias and Sapphira. the Content Could Be Better If wasJoachim andAnne— Precedingunsigned comment added byCatechismDatabase (talk •contribs)16:23, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is it normal for such large images to be used on an article? In all my years on Wikipedia I've never seen one so huge! I thought I'd increased the scale myself somehow.65.95.66.228 (talk)19:50, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that "...a belief arose that Mary was born of Anne by virgin birth, the Immaculate Conception, preserving Mary's body and soul intact and sinless from the first moment of existence" is accurately worded. It seems to be implying that "immaculate conception" is the same thing as "virgin birth." However, if I understand correctly, the first idea refers to being conceived naturally but preserved from original sin, while the second idea refers to being conceived miraculously without a human biological father. The first doctrine refers to Anne's giving birth to Mary, and the second to Mary's giving birth to Jesus. Thanks!
