<p> | <p> [[Anna]] (''ăn'nah'' ), ''grace,'' a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. Luke 2:36. Her husband having died after she had been married seven years, she devoted herself to the Lord, and was very constant in her attendance on the services of the temple. She did not, however, live in the temple itself. At 84 years of age she listened to the prophetic blessing which Simeon uttered when he held the infant [[Redeemer]] in his arms, and joined in it with great fervor. </p> | ||
