Anna The Prophetess.Remembrance day: December 22
The Holy prophetess Anna was married Elkanah and was barren. Elkanah took to himself another wife, peninnah, from which the children were born. Anna was very grieved for your misfortune, and every day praying about resolving infertility, vowed to dedicate her child to God. Once, when she fervently prayed in the temple, the priest Eli decided that she was drunk and began to accuse. But Holy gently poured out their grief and receiving the blessing, returned home. Then Anna conceived and bore a son whom she named Samuel (which means "asked from God"). When the child has reached adolescent age, the mother brought him to the priest Eli, and he left Samuel to serve in the tabernacle.
