St. Anne Stained Glass

St. Anne lived in the eighth century AD and is also known as Euphemianus. She was born to a prominent family in Constantinople and was forced into marriage. When her husband died, Anne adopted a disguise as a male, and that is when she chose the male name “Euphemianus” for herself. As such she entered an abbey on Mount Olympus and became revered for her life of holiness and piety. Although she was asked to become an Abbott, she declined and chose to remain in an obscure monastery. There are over 180 Catholic churches in the USA called after St. Anne and her feast day is commemorated on October 29th. Perhaps you are redecorating your church and would like to incorporate a stained glass window or door panel of St. Anne. We would be happy to help you.
