Life

Righteous Mary is the mother of Saint Anna and the grandmother of the Theotokos. From her, through Anna, descends the Mother of God, and so the Church counts her among the ancestors of the Lord according to the flesh and keeps her name in the commemoration of the righteous.

The sources available to us say nothing else about her life. She is commemorated on 13 December.
