Origem
A palavra Apocrypha vem do termo Grego “apokryphos”, que significa em inglês “hidden”, ou “unknown.”
The apocrypha, some of which the peasants would hear in church, were popular because of their often grotesque humor, and although there was frequently a didactic element, it was not usually overbearing.
