Who is the Virgin Mary, and why does her name echo throughout Scripture, veneration, and the hearts of the faithful?
This book explores the life, calling, and unique role of Saint Mary through the lens of Holy Scripture, the teachings of the Holy Fathers, and the sacred tradition of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. From the prophecies that foretold her coming to the mysteries revealed through her divine motherhood, these pages seek to present a deeper understanding of the woman chosen to bear the Incarnate Word.
More than a study of a historical figure, this is an invitation to contemplate the mystery of God’s saving work through the one whom Scripture calls “blessed among women.”
“For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.”
— Luke 1:48
