Depicted Baroque statue of St. Anne (Sv. Anna) You can find in the front of Church of St. Martin (kostel Sv. Martina) in village Horní Vidim in Central Bohemia region of the Czech Republic.
The statue was sculpted by unknown Baroque artist in ca 1740.
St. Anne (also known as Ann or Anna, from Hebrew Hannah, meaning "favor" or "grace") of David's house and line, was the mother of the Virgin Mary and grandmother of Jesus Christ, according to Christian and Islamic tradition. Mary's mother is not named in the canonical gospels, nor in the Qur'an. Anne's name and that of her husband Joachim come only from New Testament apocrypha, of which the Protoevangelium of James (written perhaps around 150) seems to be the earliest that mentions them.
