After a marriage of twenty years without children with Joachim (Hebrew Jehoiakim), Anne gave birth to Mary. According to tradition, they had made a vow and led Mary when she was three years in the temple in Jerusalem for she was educated there.

The latter, located near the spot where Jesus was brought forth a spring, became the oldest purpose of pilgrimage dedicated to St. Anne and took the name of Sainte-Anne-la-Palud. The Atonement, which since ancient times, attracts thousands of pilgrims, the last weekend of August each year, is certainly the most authentic and oldest of Armorica. Another legend says that St. Anne was the mother of Mary, grandmother of Jesus, wife of Joachim.
