Christianity is one of the world's oldest religions, full of symbolism and historical figures that have attracted the attention of many groups of people. Jesus Christ is the most talked about and analyzed person in the Christian Bible. However, Mary has also been the topic of conversation in many, many eras. She was once seen as simply the mother of Jesus, but as time passed and people began to consider her role in Christianity as a whole, she began to take on other roles, including that of Mother of God , Mediatrix and even Mother of all Christians. . It is important for all Christians to analyze the origins of ideas to better understand how biblical figures came to be known as we understand them today. This is the case with Marie. By tracing Mary's understanding from the beginning of Christianity to today's society, we can better connect with the cultures and ideas of the past. When Christianity began, believers focused on the martyrs around them who were dying for their new Christian beliefs. Once people saw the impact of Christianity on its followers, they began to pay more attention to the Bible, specifically the New Testament and the roles of Jesus and Mary. Not much was known about Mary, except for what was said in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John about her life, which were very sparsely detailed. According to Miri Rubin, a medieval historian and professor of modern history at Queen Mary University of London, the reason the gospels did not offer much detail about Mary's early life was because "their focus was rather to present Jesus, and so Mary enters the frame as a young girl about to receive the Annunciation. Mary is never mentioned... middle of paper ... as times progressed. At first, people didn't pay much attention to who she was because there weren't many details about her, but once people started questioning the divinity and humanistic qualities of Jesus, they realized that they also had to ask themselves who Mary really was. . Responding that Jesus is a divine being with human qualities, born of a human being, the response that Mary was the Mother of God followed. Mary was associated with nurturing and caring maternal qualities and people honored these qualities in her. Honoring Him has become a normal thing in Christianity with artistic adaptations, the creation of shrines, and prayers created and said. People were able to better connect with their religion through a better understanding of not only Jesus, but also the woman who gave us the savior of the world, Mary, Queen of Heaven and Virgin Mother of God..
