Joa chim & Anne according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox Ch urch.\n\nMor Yuyakim & Mort Hannah (Deena) are the parents of St. Mary the mother of God. They are both descendants of King David\, additionally St. Anne comes from the priestly tribe of Levi & is a descendant of Aaron. Th ey were both very pious & god fearing. Apocryphal texts & Church tradition tells us that Mort Hannah (who's name means blessed in Hebrew) was barren & even to her old age could not have a child. They prayed & fasted contin uously for a child\, making a vow that their child will be offered unto Go d. An angel appeared before Hannah & said\, “God has seen your tears. Th e fruit of your womb will be called ‘the blessed’ throughout the world .”Joachim also received a similar command. God blessed them with a child \, whom they named Mariam. \n\nAs St. Mary was born to her parents in thei r old age\, at the age of 3 she was offered to the temple as fulfillment o f their vow. This event was once a Feast in the Syriac Orthodox Church Lit urgical Calendar being celebrated on November 21st every year. After offer ing Mariam to the temple Joachim died & he was entombed in Jerusalem. Soon Hannah also died & was entombed along with her husband. The prayer from t he book of daily offices (Sh'himo) on Friday morning reads\, ”Mary becam e an orphan\, for her parents passed away. She was left for the priests to take care of her. They took her to Jerusalem according to the command of Moses to be brought up there."\n\nSt. Queen Helena built a Church over the ir tomb\, which was later taken over & made into a madrassa (Islamic schoo l) in the 9th century.\n\nBiography adapted from\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and P relates of the Syriac Orthodox Church'\n\nOh Mor Yuyakim & Mort Hannah! Pl ead for us before God's throne of grace. Amen. LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
