Who Were Mary's Natal Family by usermane(op):
Peace Christians.

I'd be glad if you could respond to this. According to Christian sources, both canon and apocrypha, who were Mary's family? Particularly her father and siblings. Thank you.

References will be appreciated. Thanks.

Direct your enquiry to the Vatican.

according to a 2nd century tradition, their names were ann and joachim, this is found in the aprocrypha book of james. both the catholic church, d eastern orthodox churches and the oriental church seem to agree with it.

No.
Only in historical theology.

Joachim was a Priest. He died shortly after Jesus was born.

Anne re-married thrice after Joachim's death which shows that she loved preeq so much just like any feminist.

Mary.
Mary's mother, Anne had no other child with Joachim.

However, when Joachim died, she married a man called Cleopas & they had a daughter named Mary too.

She is the same Mary of Cleopas that was quoted at the Crucifixion with Mary Magdalene & Mary the mother of Jesus.




Anne re-married again to another man called Salomas.

Legend has it they had another daughter - also named Mary (Mary Salome).


Hmm...? Are you really a Christian?

No, according to the aprocrypha book of james, mary was an only child, ann was barren, mary's birth was divine intervention when ann was already old.
