Anna of Kashin (Russian: Анна Кашинская; c. 1280 – 2 October 1368) was the princess consort of Mikhail of Tver. She is venerated as a saint and Right-Believing princess, patroness of Kashin and Tver. She is known both for her dramatic lifetime fate (the death of almost all relatives during internecine strife) and for no less complicated posthumous vicissitudes: she was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1650, but the struggle of the times of the schism of the Russian Church in the 17th century led to her decanonization in 1677 — a precedent in the history of the Russian Church. However, in 1908, her sainthood was officially restored by Nicholas II. On next year, crowded celebrations in Kashin were held on the occasion of the restoration of the veneration.
