| Description: |
Christians have alternatively raised the status of the mother of Jesus to that of her Son or ignored her entirely. Behind all of the images is a girl who grew up to be the mother of Christ. How did the first Christians view her? What were the commonly understood facts about the Blessed Mother’s early life, before the Annunciation? The author opens up Mary’s life before the Nativity, offering a window into her centrality to Christian Faith in new ways. |
