Where in the bible can you find Mary's mother?

Answer 1

We can only work with tradition to assume Mary's age. The Bible does not state her age. If she could conceive, then we must assume she was at least 13, although it has only been more in this past century that puberty has set on earlier and earlier, even by over a year compared to a 100 years ago. Thus, 14 years old would be the youngest we could realistically see Mary getting pregnant by the Holy Spirit. And then we add a couple years on still because she was already betrothed to Joseph and he wanted to put her away when he heard she was pregnant. He didn't want to stone her, so he obviously had known her for a while as opposed to just a girl awarded to him recently for a wife AND it is VERY unlikely a 14 year old is desiring to be promiscuous enough to want to go have sex when she ALREADY had a husband waiting. Thus, using simply this logic, I'd say Mary was at least 16 when she got pregnant and we could say she was a 17 year old woman when she became a mother to a baby. I hope that helps. Still, you'll hear people say, "She was probably only 13!" This has minimal support, but sounds outlandish enough to make people nod their heads as if they too know of this sad state of affairs in those barbaric times.....

Answer 2

Mary's mother Anne is not mentioned in the Bible. Her name is found in early apocryphal writings and in Church tradition.
