There are stories about the name given to the church, the first relates that the church was erected by Brás de Pina, a Portuguese contractor, to honor the saint who would have saved a ship with slaves from shipwreck.

 

The second version tells that the image of Sant'Anna was found in the sea by fishermen and that from that day the fishing was always good. and that during the construction of the church, the image of the saint miraculously changed position, positioning itself towards the sea during the night. these reports caused the church to be built facing the sea.
