Mary, Mother of Jesus
Mary was the young woman of Nazareth chosen by God to be the virgin mother of Jesus.
The angel Gabriel told Mary she would conceive a son by the Holy Spirit and name him Jesus. Though the news was overwhelming, she answered, “I am the Lord’s servant. May it be to me as you have said.”
Her song of praise, the Magnificat, exalts the God who lifts the humble. She gave birth in Bethlehem, raised Jesus in Nazareth, and treasured the things she saw, pondering them in her heart.
Mary stood by the cross as her son died and was among the believers gathered after his resurrection — a model of faith and surrender.
