Saint Anne was also called Euphemianus, a widow, born in Constantinople. From a good family, Anne was forced to marry. When widowed, she assumed a male disguise and the name of Euphemianus. As this male, Anne entered an abbey on Mount Olympus. Revered for holiness, she was asked to become an abbess but remained in an obscure monastery. In order words, she dedicated her life in serving God. In this way, she became a saint. Her death is accepted to have taken place in 820 AD.
