Our Lady of Vladimir, one of the medieval representations of the TheotokosAccording to the New Testament, Mary (Miriam: Hebrew: מרים; c. 15 BC – c. 48 AD), also known as Saint Mary or the Virgin Mary, was a Galilean Jewish[1][dubious – discuss][clarification needed] woman of Nazareth and the mother of Jesus.[Mt 1:16,18-25][Lk 1:26-56][2:1-7]The gospels of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament describe Mary as a virgin (Greek: παρθένος, parthénos)[2][3] and Christians believe that she conceived her son while a virgin by the Holy Spirit. This took place when she was already betrothed to Joseph and was awaiting the concluding rite of marriage, the formal home-taking ceremony.[4] She married Joseph and accompanied him toBethlehem, where Jesus was born.[5] According to ancient Jewish custom, Mary could have been betrothed at about 12,[6] however, there is no direct evidence of Mary's age at betrothal or in pregnancy.The Gospel of Luke begins its account of Mary's life with the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel appeared to her and announced her divine selection to be the mother of Jesus. According to gospel accounts, Mary was present at the Crucifixion of Jesus and is depicted as a member of the early Christian community in Jerusalem. According to Apocryphal writings, at some time soon after her death, her incorrupt body was assumed directly into Heaven, to be reunited with her soul, and the apostles thereupon found the tomb empty; this is known in Christian teaching as theAssumption.[7][8]Mary has been venerated since Early Christianity,[9][10] and is considered by millions to be the most meritorious saint of the religion. The Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic,Anglican, and Lutheran Churches believe that Mary, as Mother of Jesus, is the Mother of God and the Theotokos, literally "Giver of birth to God". There is significant diversity in the Marian beliefs and devotional practices of major Christian traditions. The Roman Catholic Church holds distinctive Marian dogmas; namely her status as the mother of God; her Immaculate Conception; herperpetual virginity; and her Assumption into heaven.[11] Many Protestants minimize Mary's role within Christianity, based on the argued brevity of biblical references.[12] Mary (Maryam) also has arevered position in Islam, where a whole chapter of the
