This is a pious tradition of the Catholic Church. It's information that's been handed down for generations, much as family stories are, and there is a chance that this information dates back to the Virgin's time.

The Church does not hold this information out as certainly true, only as perhaps true.

That's the Church's teaching. It's not scriptural; it's traditional.
