Mary was the daughter of Joachim and Anna, who took her to live lifelong service as a consecrated virgin in the Temple in Jerusalem when she was three years old. Mary was avowed to be a Virgin and She lived in the Temple until She was 12 years of age. Then She was betrothed to Joseph at the bidding of God's angel who ordered all to gather their sticks, with everyone's name written on his own stick, and places them in the altar. Joseph's stick sprouted. So, he received the Virgin and took Her home. It is also said that a dove appeared out of Joseph's stick and that it flew and settled on his head.
In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel, as a herald of the great news to Mary saying: "Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women.... Thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.". In the area of Christian theology, Mariology highlights The conception of her son Jesus is believed to have been an act of the Holy Spirit, and to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah that a virgin (or maiden[2]) would bear a son named Immanuel ("God with us"). Mary is the most prominent feminine figure in Christianity and the most meritorious saint in church history.

In Eastern Christianity
In the Eastern Orthodox Tradition, the Ever-Virgin Mary, the Theotokos, died, after having lived a holy life. According to Eastern Orthodox tradition, between three and fifteen years after Christ's Ascension, in either Jerusalem or Ephesus, Mary died; while surrounded by the apostles. Eleven of the apostles were present and conducted the funeral. St Thomas was delayed and arrived a few days later. Wanting to venerate the body, the tomb was opened for St Thomas. It was revealed that the body of the Theotokos was gone. It was their conclusion that she had been taken, body and soul into heaven. The Eastern Orthodox celebrate this event on the 15th of August. "Mary's Tomb", a tomb in Jerusalem, is attributed to Mary, but it was unknown until the 6th century. Mary is the most prominent feminine figure in Christianity and the most meritorious saint in church history. Mary is frequently referred to by the Eastern Orthodox Church and related traditions within the Catholic Church as Theotokos, a title recognized at the Third Ecumenical Council held at Ephesus, against the teachings of Nestorius, in 431. Theotokos (and its Latin equivalents, "Deipara" and "Dei genetrix") are sometimes translated as "Mother of God," or "Godbearer". The name was used theologically to emphasize that Mary's child, Jesus Christ, was in fact God (Denziger §111a).

Mary in Apocryphal Texts 
The Gospel of James contains biographical material about Mary considered plausible by some Orthodox and Catholic Christians. It states she was the daughter of Joachim and Anna, who were quite old when she was conceived. They took her to live in the Temple in Jerusalem when she was three years old, as Hannah took Samuel to the Tabernacle in the Old Testament. The Gospel of James also teaches Mary's perpetual virginity.
