It is understood the Mother of St.Mary was St.Anne, but this is not directly stated in The Bible, but is traditional. Anne means Grace, as does Hanna- the Hebrew and German variant- So Help Me Hanna! is a popular German curse-phrase with a little religion added- it was said to be a favorite expletive of , you know who- but then his secretrial officer- and codebreaker was named Hanna so there is no problem. I am not aware of the Lithuanian equivalent of Anne. Anne should not be confused with Anastasia- a different root, while we are in Eastern Europe. The name means I Shall Rise Again! and that she did! Lines West (Roman) Anastasia is patroness of weavers and celebrated on Christmas Eve. Lines East-well there are a couple of Feast days,. her day of Natality was, of course, June l8,l90l.
