Anna, from the Old Testament, is an elderly prophet at the Temple who spoke about Jesus. Anna was added to the Companions Collection Nativity by Hestia in 2007.Retired in 2017.

From the Hestia Companions Nativity story card: Anna is the daughter of Phanuel. She was married but became a widow after only seven years. Since her husband's death, she has never left the temple where she lives, and has grown old. Anna is a prophetess who spends her days and nights fasting and praying, and preaching the message of the coming Messiah. Not at age 84, Anna is in the Temple when Joseph and Mary bring their infant son Jesus to be presented to the Lord. When Anna sees the child Jesus, she praises God and speaks about Him to all who are waiting for deliverance by the Messiah to come. The Christmas season is beautifully portrayed in this heirloom quality nativity set. Carefully chosen fabrics are applied to the bonded marble sculptures to add texture and an authentic first century appearance. Each year artist Linda MacDonald adds a new piece and retires an old one, and collectors are building value as they enjoy the beauty of this Christmas Nativity scene.
