About Saint Anne / Hannah

The primary source for St. Anne is the Protoevangelium of James.

Saint Anne, of David's house and line, was the mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus according to apocryphal Christian and Islamic tradition. Mary's mother is not named in the canonical gospels, nor in the Quran. In writing, Anne's name and that of her husband Joachim come only from New Testament apocrypha, of which the Gospel of James (written perhaps around 150) seems to be the earliest that mentions them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Anne

According to Africanus, she was the same person as Wife of Jacob.
