Feast Day for Jesus' Grandmother

     Today is Grandmother's Feast Day on the Christian calender. September 1 is the feast day of "Saint Anna the Prophetess" who was with Jesus' family when they brought him to the Temple for a ceremony of renewal for his mother. I doubt that she was a random visionary who just happened to be there to speak out in prophecy that  those looking for redemption in the Jerusalem tribes would look to this baby.
    Anna is the one on the right side of the picture, the one shrouded in mystery with a scroll in her hand.

 The Gospel of Luke describes her as a wise older woman who had lived her life in service to God. Somewhat of a priestess. Her story describes that she fled to Galilee from her abusive husband Joachim....whose parents legend says came from the Fortingall area of Scotland.
     And that she was of the tribe of Asher, which had been deported from Galilee in 723 B.C. ...and wandered. Galilee is thought  by some---because of the "gl"-- to be "the country of the circle" ....the country of the Gael....the country of a celto-hebraic lineage. A prophet-giving holy  woman would not be unusual to that culture.


   
                       

    The grandmother speaks out in public to announce the baby, just as it might be today. It is a grandmother who apparently knows the secret of renewal and redemption.The spiritual dimension, the intuitive realm, had spoken  through an angel; but here is the first voice of the Sacred Feminine in the earth dimension telling the story of renewal. A baby represents the continuous cyclic renewal of life on symbolic and physical planes. Cyclic renewal is the philosophy of the Goddess religions that Jesus was in some harmony with. Maybe the genetics of  his grandmother Anna the visionary were strong in him.
  The name of the tribe Asher means happiness, contentment, fulfillment and affirmation. I'll take that as Jesus' maternal lineage from the earth realm.
                                        Feast Day of the Grandmother!
