Who was Saint Mary's family?

If you are referring to the Blessed Virgin Mary, there is nothing in scripture about her family. We must rely on undependable apocryphal writings for that information.The Gospel of James, also known as the Infancy Gospel of James or the Protevangelium of James, is an apocryphal Gospel probably written about AD 145, which expands backward in time the infancy stories contained in the Gospels. That writing gives us the names of Anne and Joachim as the the parents of Mary. If these were the actual names we do not know but, lacking other information as verification, these are the names the Church assigns to them.


When was the Virgin Mary born?

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 8thThis 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.
