As the priest of St. Anne Orthodox Church in Oak Ridge, I read with great interest the linked blog on the gift of their relics to an Orthodox parish in California. The articles are well done and the video is outstanding. For all who love the saints, you will enjoy these pages. Sts. Joachim and Anna, pray to God for us.
Fr. Stephen is a retired Archpriest of the Orthodox Church in America. He is also author of Everywhere Present: Christianity in a One-Storey Universe, and Face to Face: Knowing God Beyond Our Shame, as well as the Glory to God podcast series on Ancient Faith Radio.

Father, if I may:
There’s a lovely piece on the background to Sts Joachim and Anna here. Thanks for posting.
Father, if I may:
Interesting story of how the holy relics of Sts Joachim & Anne passed from Cardinal Joachim Miesner of Cologne to the Very Reverend Cherubim Apostolou of the Theophileon Brotherhood of the Skete of Saint Anna.
