Mary[b] was a first-century Jewish woman of Nazareth, [9] the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus. She is an important figure of Christianity, venerated under various titles such as virgin or queen, many of which are mentioned in the Litany of Loreto.
Mary was the mother of Jesus, venerated in the Christian church and a subject in Western art, music, and literature. Mary has been ascribed several titles, including guarantee of the Incarnation, virgin mother, second Eve, mother of God, ever virgin, immaculate, and assumed into heaven.
Ask someone to name a famous Mary, and he or she will almost certainly mention “Mary, mother of Jesus.” She is perhaps the most famous “Mary” in history, even an object of worship for some.
Her most common epithet is "the virgin Mary." She is celebrated by Eastern Orthodox Churches, Catholicism, and various Protestant denominations as "the mother of God." In Islam, Surah 19 of the Quran, the surah of Maryam, is devoted to her. Stories of Mary evolved over time.
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.
