Meaning"favor" or"grace" of David's house and line, was the mother of the Virgin Mary and grandmother of Jesus Christ, according to Christian and Islamic tradition. Mary's mother is not named in the Canonical gospels, nor in the Quran. Anne's name and that of her husband Joachim come only from New Testament apocrypha, of which the Protoevangelium of James(written perhaps around 150) seems to be the earliest that mentions them. St. Anne is patroness of unmarried women, housewives, women ... morein labor, grandmothers, horseback riders, cabinet-makers, and the Mi`kmaq people of Canada. As the Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The devotion to St Anne as the patron of miners arises from the medieval comparison between the Virgin Mary and Christ and precious metals- silver and gold. Anne's womb was considered the source from which these precious metals were mined. St Anne is also said to be a protector from storms. She is also the patron saint of: Brittany; Castelbuono. Sicily; Quebec, Canada; Santa Ana, California; Norwich, Connecticut; Detroit, Michigan; Santa Ana Pueblo; Adjuntas, Puerto Rico; Santa Ana, El Salvador; Jucuarán, El Salvador; Seama, New Mexico; Taos, New Mexico; Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain; Marsaskala; Tudela, Navarre; Hagonoy, Bulacan and Santa Ana, Taguig City, Philippines, St.Anne Shrine, Malicboy, Pagbilao, Quezon, Philippines; Santano, Sao Paulo, Brazil; Saint Anne, Illinois; Sainte Anne Island, Seychelles; Baie Sainte Anne, Praslin Island, Seychelles; Bukit Mertajam and Klang Malaysia and South Vietnam, and Fasnia.

Was a Christian Saint from Egypt, a prominent leader among the Desert Fathers. He is celebrated in many churches on his feast days: 30 January in the Old-Calendar Eastern Orthodox Church and the Coptic Orthodox Church; 17 January in the New-Calendar Eastern Orthodox Church. The Bulgarian Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Churchand the Coptic Catholic ... moreChurch. The biography of Anthony's life by Athanius of Alexandria helped to spread the concept of monasticism. Particularly in Western Europe through Latin translations. He is often erroneously considered the first monk, but as his biography and other sources make clear, there were many ascetics before him. Anthony was, however, the first known ascetic going into the wilderness(about A.D. 270–271) a geographical move that seems to have contributed to his renown. Accounts of Anthony enduring supernatural temptation during his sojourn in the Libyan Desert inspired the often-repeated subject of the Temptation of St. Anthony in Western art and literature. Anthony is appealed to against infectious diseases, particularly skin diseases. In the past, many such afflictions, includingergotism, erysipelas, and shingles, were historically referred to as St. Anthony’s Fire.

Martin of Tours(Latin: Sanctus Martinus Turonensis; 316– November 8. 397) was a Bishop of Tours, whose shrine in France became a famous stopping-point for pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostella. Around his name much legendary material accrued, and he has become one of the most familiar and recognizable Christian saints. As he was born in what is now Szombathely, Hungary, spent much of his childhood in Pavia, Italy, and lived most of his adult life in France, he is considered a spiritual bridge across Europe. His life was recorded by a contemporary. The hagiographer Sulpicius Severus. Some of the accounts of his ... moretravels may have been interpolated into his vita to validate early sites of his cult. He is a patron saint of soldiers. He is the patron saint of beggars. France, geese(because their migration coincides with his feast) infantrymen, innkeepers, vintners(because his feast falls just after the late grape harvest) and tailors and wool-weavers(because he divided his cloak) Martin is most generally portrayed on horseback dividing his cloak with the beggar.

Definite biographical information about Mechthild is scarce; what is known of her life comes largely from scattered hints in her work. She was probably born to a noble Saxon family. And claimed to have had her first vision of the Holy Spirit at the age of twelve. In 1230 she left her home to become a Beguine at Magdeburg. There, like Hadewijch of Antwerp, she seems to have exercised ... morea position of authority in a beguine community. In Magdeburg she became acquainted with the Dominicans and became a Dominican tertiary. It seems clear that she read many of the Dominican writers. It was her Dominican confessor, Henry of Halle, who encouraged and helped Mechthild to compose The Flowing Light. Her criticism of church dignitaries. Religious laxity and claims to theological insight aroused so much opposition that some called for the burning of her writings. With advancing age, she was not only alone, and the object of much criticism but she also became blind. Around 1272, she joined the Cistercian nunnery at Helfta, who offered her protection and support in the final years of her life, and where she finished writing down the contents of the many divine revelations she claimed to have experienced. According to Professor Kate Lindemann, it speaks much of this community and its Abbess, that they would embrace a woman who was over 60 years of age, in poor health and so isolated by society. It is unclear whether she actually formally joined the Cistercian community or if she simply resided there and participated in the religious services but did not take Ci

The son of John(or Jonah or Jona) he was from the village of Bethsaida in the province of Galilee or Gaulanitis. His brother Andrew was also an apostle. Two epistles in the New Testament are ascribed to Peter, ... morealthough the majority of biblical scholars rejects the Petrine authorship of both. The Gospel of Mark was traditionally thought to show the influence of Peter's preaching and eyewitness memories. Several other books bearing his name– the Acts of Peter, Gospel of Peter, Preaching of Peter, Apocalypse of Peter, and Judgment of Peter– are rejected by the Catholic Church and every other Christian church as apocryphal. According to New Testament accounts. Peter was one of twelve apostles chosen by Jesus from his first disciples. Originally a fisherman, he played a leadership role and was with Jesus during events witnessed by only a few apostles, such as the Transfiguration. According to the gospels, Peter confessed Jesus as the Messiah, was part of Jesus' inner circle, thrice denied Jesus, and preached on the day of Pentecost. According to Christian tradition. Peter is said to have been crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero Augustus Caesar.
