Blessed
Virgin
Mary
• Mary, also known as St. Mary the Virgin, the
Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Mary, Mary Mother of
God or the Virgin Mary is believed by many to
be the greatest of all Christian saints.

• The main events of her life are celebrated as

liturgical feasts of the universal Church.
• Mary's life and role in the history of
salvation is foreshadowed in the Old
Testament, while the events of her life
are recorded in the New Testament.

• Born in Jerusalem, daughter of St.

Joachim and St. Anne.

• Mary was presented in the Temple

and took a vow of virginity.
• Mary was visited by the archangel
Gabriel, who announced to her that she
would become the Mother of Jesus, by the
Holy Spirit.

• She became betrothed to St. Joseph and

went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who
was bearing St. John the Baptist. She was
acknowledged by Elizabeth as the Mother
of God.
• Mary and St. Joseph went to Bethlehem, his
city of lineage, as he belonged to the House of
David. There Mary gave birth to Jesus and
was visited by the Three Kings.

• Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the

Temple, where St. Simeon rejoiced, and Mary
received word of sorrows to come later.

 Mary’s Assumption to
Heaven

• The belief that Mary's body was assumed into

heaven is one of the oldest traditions of the Catholic
Church.

• Pope Pius XII declared this belief Catholic dogma in

1950.

God

Annunciation

is clearly shown in the Gospel where she is
seen constantly at her son's side during his
soteriological mission.
• Mary possesses a unique relationship with all
three Persons of the Trinity, thereby giving her a
claim to the title of Queenship.

• She was chosen by God the Father to be the

Mother of his Son;

spouse for the Incarnation of the Son; and
