Mary was the mother of Jesus. She is also known as the Virgin Mary, the Blessed Virgin Mary, or the Blessed Virgin. According to the Gospels of Luke and Matthew, Mary gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem. According to Luke, her family lived in Nazareth, and she had gone to Bethlehem with Joseph to have their names recorded as members of the House of David.
The sufferings of Jesus brought great sorrow into Mary’s life. At the Crucifixion, according to John 19, Jesus asked His beloved disciple, perhaps John, to take care of her. Little is known about her later life. It is believed that she died in Jerusalem about A.D. 63. Mary is venerated by the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Eastern Orthodox churches as the “Mother of God.”
The story of Mary has always been a favorite subject of artists and musicians. Many great paintings and songs have been based on the incidents and traditions of her life.
