Mary
The mother of Jesus Christ, chosen by God to bear the Savior through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Mary of Nazareth was a young virgin who faithfully accepted the divine call to give birth to Jesus. Her life is marked by humble obedience, her song of praise in Luke 1, and her presence at the foot of the cross. The name Mary is also shared by several other women in the New Testament, including Mary Magdalene and the mother of John Mark.
