Though the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary are not mentioned in the Bible, tradition gives them as Joachim, a rich farmer, and his wife, Anne, or Hannah. Since Anne was past the child bearing years when Mary was born, it is believed that she was miraculously conceived, as Jesus was conceived later by Mary. Some writers say that Anne taught her small daughter to read scripture. Others believe that at the age of three, Mary was taken to the Temple where she lived among the virgins.Many faithful believe that those who devoutly say prayers in honor of St. Anne on Tuesday of any week are granted numerous favors.
