If not Mary then who?

Thanks.

It is truly right to bless you, O Theotokos,
ever blessed, and most pure, and the Mother of our God.
More honorable than the cherubim,
and beyond compare more glorious than the seraphim.
Without corruption you gave birth to God the Word.
True Theotokos, we magnify you.

Dear Dorothea,

Many thanks

It certainly does seem as though we are continuing to prove the Angel right by calling her 'Blessed' from generation to generation.

peace,

Anglian

Just as I love Christ God and the Trinity, I love His Mother, all the Saints, and my neighbor, as I believe I should as a Christian.

I hope you have a blessed Nativity as well, whether you celebrate it on Dec. 25th or Jan. 7th! Christ is Born(though I am two days early on that).

we have a poll on who is the greatest Woman in Christianity. Most have said Mary because of her roll as giving birth and raising and nuturing Christ when he was a child and her unwavering faithfullness and answering the call to God to bear to us our Savior.

But to some that doesn't seem to be good enough. So I was wondering of all those who voted NO on the pole, who is the greatest woman and why?

Thanks.

## How about: someone whose name is known only to God ? Is a notion such as that of being "the greatest" even applicable in Christianity ? IMO, the drift of the Mystery of Christ says "no", very firmly - Jesus rebukes & radicalises & re-defines human things. As the Apostles had to learn.
