The iconography derives from late medieval theology and is found in the Golden Legend, which stated that Anne, the mother of the Virgin, married three times, having by each marriage a child named Mary: first to Joachim, the father of the Virgin; second to Cleophas (or Clopas), by whom she had Mary the wife of Alpheus and mother of the Apostle James the Less, Saint James the Just (or Barsabus), and the Apostles Simon Zelotes and Judas Thaddaeus; and third to Salome, by whom she had Mary the wife of Zebedee and mother of the Apostles James the Greater and John the Evangelist.
