It is not directly stated in The Bible. Popular tradition says her parents were named Anne or Anna ( which means Grace) and Joachim. the Agreda ( City Of God) is in effect a Marian biography but is largely based on unsupported theorizing.

The exact year is not known. However, it was probably about the year 20 B.C.

Mother Mary's birthday is celebrated on September 8th
This is hard to say, as they got married young then, and Mary was only engaged to Joseph. Also there were no records of birth and death like today.

St.Mary was born in 20 BC in Gaille . No one really knows. The above answer is based on tradition and unsubstantiated sources used by the Roman Catholic Church. Historically there is no evidence to suggest that she was born in any particular year. However, we can work out a likely time of her birth knowing the time of Christ's birth and Jewish culture and custom. Mary was likely to have been pregnant with Jesus at a very early age as was the custom in those days. In Jewish law once a girl started to menstruate she was declared a woman and was able to be married. We also know that Mary had no children before Jesus and that she was a virgin, placing her at an age just after menstruation started. Menstruation began later in life in those days on average than today (as we have better nutrition and health care), but usually was no later than around 13-14 years of age. Therefore Mary was around 14 or 15 when she gave birth to Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was born between 7BC and 4BC. If Mary was 14 or 15 Years old at the time, this places her birth at anywhere from 22BC to 18BC.

Jesus was born in the year 4 BC. Mary was probably about 16 when Jesus was born, so she would have been born around the year 20 BC.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is assumed to have been about 14 years old when she married. That was the custom at the time in the area. She was probably born about the year 15 B.C.

We have no idea when she was born but we celebrate her nativity on September 8. It is much like Jesus. We are uncertain when he was born but celebrate it on December 25.

Where was the Blessed Virgin Mary born?

We really don't know for certain, "When and where Saint Mary (assuming you're referring to the mother of Jesus) was born". According to the common tradition of Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy and other Eastern Churches, she was born in Nazareth. As far as we know via the culture of the time, Mary would have conceived Jesus between the ages of 13-15.So: If Jesus was born in 4 BC (an accepted date), Mary would have been born approximately 20 BC (give or take)
