The Shrine of St. Anne is a church dedicated to St. Anne which is privileged to possess a precious relic of the Saint, a particle of bone. The reliquary (a cabinet housing the relic) is located in the chapel, enabling the relic to be displayed to the faithful. The relic is presented for public veneration on the feast day of St. Anne, July 26th. To venerate is to honor with an act of devotion, to regard with reverence and respect.
