How old was Mary when she conceived by the Holy Spirit?

There is no clear answer to this question because there is no record of Mary's age when she conceived by the Holy Spirit. In Luke 1:26-27, it states that the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and said, "Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you." Mary was a virgin and, according to the Bible, the Holy Spirit came upon her and she conceived Jesus.

The Bible does not give an exact age for Mary, but we can make an educated guess based on the culture at the time. Jewish girls were typically betrothed and married between the ages of 12 and 14. The average age of marriage for Jewish girls was 13. Therefore, it is likely that Mary was between 12 and 14 years old when she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

However, it is also possible that Mary was older than 14 when she conceived by the Holy Spirit. In the ancient world, women were often married later than 12 or 14, and Mary may have been betrothed to Joseph at a later age.

In conclusion, it is impossible to know Mary's exact age when she conceived by the Holy Spirit. However, based on the culture of the time, it is likely that Mary was between 12 and 14 years old.
