25 iulie: Adormirea Sfintei Ana, mama Fecioarei Maria și bunica Mântuitorului. Ocrotitoarea mamelor și a familiilor

On July 25, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Dormition of Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary and grandmother of Jesus Christ. Saint Anne is revered as a model of faith and patience, serving as a protector of mothers and families. According to tradition, she and her husband Joachim prayed for a child for many years before being blessed with Mary. After Joachim's death, Anne spent her final years in prayer and good deeds. Her feast day is celebrated annually on July 25, and she is particularly honored by mothers and families wishing for children.
