The Bible does not say how old Mary was when she got betrothed to Joseph or when she got pregnant with Jesus. The Bible does not tell anything about Mary’s parents or how they raised her. This episode was created by considering the customs and conditions that existed in Nazareth during this time period. At the time of Jesus’s birth, Nazareth was a small village in the middle of nowhere—it wasn’t even mentioned in the Old Testament.
