Tradition consists of myths, legends and folk stories, rather than known facts. Some stories in the scriptures can be considered biblical traditions, as there is no extra-biblical evidence that they really happened, or because of discrepancies and inconsistencies between two accounts of the same story; even two supposedly different stories that are clearly based on exactly the same tradition.

Traditions also grew up in the Christian milieu after The Bible was written. For example, the Bible does not mention the deaths of any of the disciples, but macabre traditions grew up about their eventual martyrdom.

Why does the Church need both Scripture and Tradition?

Catholic AnswerThe Church needs Tradition because that is what Our Blessed Lord gave Her. She needs Scripture because She inherited the Old Testament from the Jews, ultimately from God, and Tradition gave Her the New Testament. They are both the Word of God, which means that, in a very real sense, they are Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. But in the end, Tradition (with a captial "T") is what God gave us, all Scripture came out of Tradition and the New Testament expressly tells us that we must abide by Tradition and Scripture.
