This story of Mary’s birth to ancient parents Anne and Joachim was a simple re-write of Samuel’s birth to Hannah and Elkanah already to be found in 1 Samuel.
Alam na natin na ang pagluwal niya sa mga matatandang magulang na sina Ana at Joaquin ay isang simpleng pag-uulit lang ng kapanganakan ni Samuel mula kina Ana at Elkana na matatagpuan sa 1 Samuel.
