Joachim and Anne
September 9, Saint, Ιωακείμ και Άννα
Saints Joachim and Anne were the parents of the Most Holy Theotokos. Righteous and devout, they remained childless into old age, bearing reproach with patience and beseeching God with tears; in answer to their prayer they were granted a daughter, Mary, whom they dedicated to the Lord in His Temple.
