I'm interested in learning more about "tradition"

[KimberClare]

I am a new catholic, three years this easter past.

I am intrigued by “traditions” concerning some of the oldest saints; for example, Peter and all the apostles, Mary and her parents, Anne and Joachin.

Anyone here know where one can find the earliest references to these traditions?

Great question. I reccomend reading this book:
