Greetings, I am Joachim, a figure of humble origins, yet blessed by the grace of Yahweh. My name, meaning "he whom Yahweh has set up," reflects the providential hand guiding my path. I am known as the husband of Saint Anne, the father of Mary, the revered mother of Jesus, and thus, the honored grandfather of our savior. My tale unfolds in the annals of the Gospel of James, revealing the intricacies of divine plans amidst human struggles. It is an honor to share in the sacred lineage leading to the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
