He is a descendant o f King David. He was very pious & god fearing. Apocryphal texts & Church t radition tells us that Mort Hannah (who's name means blessed in Hebrew) wa s barren & even to her old age could not have a child. They prayed & faste d continuously for a child\, making a vow that their child will be offered unto God. An angel appeared before Hannah & said\, “God has seen your t ears. The fruit of your womb will be called ‘the blessed’ throughout t he 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 their old age\, at the age of 3 she was offered to the temple as fulfi llment of their vow. This event was once a Feast in the Syriac Orthodox Ch urch Liturgical Calendar being celebrated every year on November 21st. Aft er offering Mariam to the temple Joachim died & he was entombed in Jerusal em. Soon Hannah also died & was entombed along with her husband. The praye r from the book of daily offices (Sh'himo) on Friday morning reads\, ”Ma ry became an orphan\, for her parents passed away. She was left for the pr iests to take care of her. They took her to Jerusalem according to the com mand of Moses to be brought up there."\n\nSt. Queen Helena built a Church over their tomb\, which was later taken over & made into a madrassa (Islam ic school) in the 9th century.\n\nBiography adapted from\, 'Martyrs\, Sain ts and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Church'\n\nOh Mor Yuyakim! Plead fo r us before God's throne of grace. Amen.\n\nVat. LXIX LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
