How old were Joachim and Anna when Mary was conceived?

Answer 1

We only know the names Anne and Joachim from the apocryphal Gospel of James. There is no verification elsewhere to verify this. There is also no factual information about their ages when Mary was born except for the tradition that Anne was approaching the end of her child bearing years.

Answer 2

Christians have long wanted to know about the parents of Mary, mother of Jesus. One persistent legend is that their names were Joachim and Anna, but there are others. Even in the unlikely case their names really were Joachim and Anna, we have no way of knowing how old they were when Mary was conceived.

Answer 3

According to tradition, Joachim and Anna were advanced in age when Mary was conceived. It is believed that they were likely in their old age, possibly past the age of childbearing.
