Saint Anne was the
spouse of St. Joachim, and was chosen by God to be the Mother of Mary
on earth. They were both of the royal house of David, and their lives
were wholly occupied in prayer and good works. One thing only was
missing from their marriage-they were chidless. After a long wait,
when Anne was an older woman, Mary was born. With the birth of Mary
the aged Anne began a new life, and felt herself sanctified by the
presence of her immaculate child.
This finely detailed
statue has been expertly sculpted by Barbara Tortolani, a New England
artisan noted for exquisite life-like detail that she portrays in all
her creations. The statue is crafted in cold cast resin and hand
painted for fine detail resulting in a venerable gift to be always
cherished.
