Mary was a humble young woman living in Nazareth when the angel Gabriel appeared to her, announcing that she had been chosen to bear the Messiah. Though initially startled, Mary responded with faith and humility, saying, “I am the Lord’s servant.” Her journey was one of profound trust in God, as she faced the challenges of being the mother of Jesus, from his miraculous birth in Bethlehem to raising him in Nazareth and supporting his ministry. Mary’s faith and devotion made her a pivotal figure in God’s redemptive plan.
