The devotion to St. Ann in medieval England was particularly strong (as the article notes). The Life of the Virgin was of great interest to the English, not least because England was known as "Our Lady's Dowry".
I guess it's because my people are all from Britain, but I simply love all the old English churches and their glass and statues. One of the most beautiful depictions of the Blessed Virgin is Our Lady of Walsingham.
