Women of the Bible - Anna

Luke 2 tells us all we know about Anna, who recognized Christ as the redeemer when his parents brought him to the temple as a baby: 2:36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity, 37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day. 38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem. (World English Bible, public domain)

I have a close relative who is named Anna.
