Wooden Icon of the Holy Right-believing Princess Anna of Kashin
Anna of Kashin, patron saint of Kashin and Tver, was born in 1294 to Demetrius Borisovich of Rostov. She married Grand Prince Michael Yaroslavich of Tver in 1318, but he was murdered by the Mongol-Tatars of the Horde. Anna then became a nun, taking the name Euphrosyne and residing in Tver's Sophia monastery until she transferred to Kashin's Dormition monastery. Eventually, she became a schemanun named Anna and passed away on October 2, 1338.
