Santa Ana

religious figure

Santa Ana is revered as the mother of the Virgin Mary and the grandmother of Jesus Christ in Christian tradition. She is often depicted in art and literature as a symbol of maternal virtue and devotion. Many churches and institutions are named in her honor, and her feast day is celebrated widely, particularly in regions with strong Catholic traditions. The city of Antigua Guatemala is known for its rich cultural heritage and religious observances, especially during Holy Week, where Santa Ana plays a significant role in local customs and processions.
