[1]: The story of Mary’s parents, Joachim and Anna, is told in Mar (1871, 2-6). According to Mar (1871, 2) they were childless for twenty years and prayed to God every holy day that they be granted a child. The ON version of that story is derived from an apocryphal gospel of Mary (The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew; see Wolf 2001, xiii-xix, xxix-xxxi).
