What was the virgin marys home life like?

Answer 1

She had a very sexist father who always beat her and her 4 sisters almost every night. Her mother died when she was born, the youngest of her sisters and so her father named her Mary after her mother.

Answer 2

Scripture makes no mention of the childhood of Mary, so it is difficult to say with certainty what her childhood was like. "The Protoevangelium of James," an ancient Christian writing, says that Mary was raised in the Temple and that, at an early age, she consecrated herself to the Lord as a perpetual virgin. Since Catholics belief that Mary was conceived without any stain of original sin and that she committed no actual sins throughout her entire life, it is safe to assume that her childhood was a very holy and precious one.

Answer 3

There is nothing in scripture about Mary's childhood and nothing really credible in other writings. The Protoevangelium of James, is an apocryphal gospel probably written about AD 145, which expands backward in time the infancy stories contained in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke and presents a narrative concerning the birth and upbringing of Mary herself. However, there is no verificaton from other sources concerning the validity of these stories so they must be considered dubious at best.

Answer 4

Mary grew up in Nazareth and there is nothing reliable recorded about her childhood.
