Santa Anna (Latin) or Saint Anne (English) was the mother of the Virgin Mary, and grandmother of Jesus. She and her husband, Joachim, were unable to have a child for many years and then Anna was visited in the night by an angel who let her know that she would soon conceive a child. The couple was so happy with this news that they promised their child, once born, would be in the service of God. In addition to bearing the child who would become the mother of Jesus, Saint Anne is also the patron saint of good parents and women in labor.

Saint Gabriel Lalemant was born in Paris and joined the Jesuit Order as a young man, with the intention of devoting his life to being a foreign missionary. In his case, the foreign mission turned out to be Canada, specifically Quebec, where he joined other Jesuits at various outposts among the Huron and Iroquois. The recipients of this conversion did not take kindly to the donors; Gabriel Lalemant was kidnapped, cruelly tortured, and burned to death. For his pains he was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1930. He is among the pantheon known as the eight Canadian Martyrs.

Francesco Possenti was born in Assisi, Italy and joined the Passionist Congregation, a monastery devoted to reverence of the Passion of Christ (during which time he took the name Gabriel). A member of a privileged family, the young saint-to-be did not demonstrate any particular holiness, but a severe illness led him to promise his future to God in exchange for health. He just may not have specified how long the health should last, for only six years after entering the novitiate and before taking his final vows, Gabriel succumbed to tuberculosis at the age of twenty-four. Pope Benedict XV declared him a saint in 1920.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a Columbian journalist, film critic, novelist and screenwriter who won the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. His best-known novels, One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985) have cemented his reputation as one of the foremost writers of the last century. Gabriel was raised by his grandparents in his formative years and credits them with a major influence on his literature. His grandfather was a liberal revolutionary, who bestowed his sense of social justice on his grandson; his grandmother was a devoted religious woman who accepted the supernatural as natural, and led him to his unique style of “magical realism”. Because of his derogatory remarks about United States imperialism, his friendship with Fidel Castro and his many other outré liberal viewpoints, Mr. Marquez was denied entry to the states for many years. This was rescinded during Bill Clinton’s presidency, who declared One Hundred Years of Solitude to be his favorite novel. Now in his eighties, “Gabo” continues to work on his memoirs.

Queen Mary II of England is the other half of the famous “William and Mary” team, who ruled England, Scotland and Ireland together from 1689 until her death in 1694, after which William became sole ruler. Mary was the daughter of James II, who converted to Catholicism during her childhood. James became king upon the death of his brother, Charles II, and the new king’s religion sparked revolution. Mary, being married to William of Orange of the Netherlands, was invited to return to England with him and overthrow her father. It was said that this caused her great consternation – however – she did it. James II fled the country and Mary and William ruled happily ever after. They even found the time to endow the College of William and Mary in the colonies in 1693. Mary and William were childless; she died of smallpox and her husband ruled until 1702, after which Mary’s sister, Anne, ascended to the throne.

Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh is the quintessential British man of letters of a certain era. Oxford educated, Evelyn cultivated many aristocratic friends and never left the English country house scene behind, detailing it in his many novels, most particularly Brideshead Revisited (1945). During his college years, Evelyn led the almost expected life of dissipation of the upper class male, indulging in drink, drugs, and sexual adventures on both sides of the street. He decided upon the heterosexual marriage route (well, who wouldn’t, in 1928?) and married Evelyn Gardner. The marriage was very brief, severed by her infidelity, or so they say – it is our opinion that he could not countenance the fact that they, as a couple, were referred to as “She-Evelyn” and He-Evelyn” – grounds enough for divorce. After this, Evelyn (He) began his transition toward conversion into the Roman Catholic Church, the culmination of which would mark his fiction for the rest of his days. Evelyn Waugh served in the British armed forces in World War II, and used his experiences in his fiction as well as in his journalism and travel writing. Remarrying in 1937 (to a cousin of She-Evelyn), Evelyn and Laura Herbert Waugh parented seven children. Often depicted as anti-Semitic, conservative and curmudgeonly in his later years, Evelyn Waugh nonetheless left an enduring legacy of elegant and stylistic prose that has more than weathered the tests of time.
