Struggling with their inability to conceive, St. Anne's husband St. Joachim went into the wilderness to pray for 40 days. St. Anne, lamenting her situation after seeing a nest of birds, was visited by an angel who said she would have a child. She was then reunited with St. Joachim, who had also been told the same by an angel. Their daughter Mary was born 9 months later.⁣ ⁣ The watercolor portrait on this card is of St Anne teaching the Blessed Virgin Mary. The back of the prayer card contains the "O Glorious St. Anne" prayer.
