Answer 2

According to one Christian tradition, Mary the mother of Jesus was born to an elderly couple, Anna and Joachim in Nazareth. When she was three years old, they took her to the Temple at Jerusalem and had her consecrated as a virgin under the authority of Zachariah (the future father of John the Baptist). She lived out her early childhood with other young girls. It was at Jerusalem that she met Joseph, who was already an acquaintance of her parents. When the time came for the young girls to return home (they could no longer remain in the Temple once they began to menstruate due to purity laws), Mary could not do so. Unfortunately, by this time, Anna and Joachim had died, leaving behind property in Nazareth.

Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, Zachariah perplex over what exactly to do with Mary, summoned all the eligible, unmarried men to Jerusalem. Upon arrival, Zachariah gave them each a twig, believing that which ever of the twigs sprouted, the man to whom it belonged would take Mary home with him. Joseph as was said earlier was already in Jerusalem, he too was given a twig and gathered up the other twigs and placed them in the Temple. Afterward it was found that Joseph's twig was the only one to bloom and so he agreed to take Mary home.

Because Mary had inherited property in Nazareth, that is where the two had decided to go. At this point the Lukan narrative takes off.
