....?

Answer 1

Mary is significant only in that God needed someone to give birth to His only begotten Son. Putting any more importance on her than that is not scriptural, and erroneous.

Answer 2

There is a movie about Mary coming out in December this year.

My favourite moment with Mary is in the Gospel of Luke, chapter two, when an absolute cacophany of events has taken place. Angels came and heralded Jesus' birth to fearful shepherd. The angels start singing. So the shepherds drop everything, leave their sheep and go running to the manger where Jesus is born. The shepherds tell everyone there about what they had seen.

And while everyone is running around, singing, floating in the sky, heralding... what does Mary do?

"And Mary pondered all these things, treasuring them up in her heart." (Luke 2:19)

This serene and peaceful woman, one who knew the trajectory of her life, who knew the roads she would have to take, simply - as she always did - surrendered to the mystery of the events as they unfolded, and accepted them for what they were. She meditated on them.

I've always taken that as my model of how to be in awe. "And she treasured them up in her heart."

Answer 3

Parents are Joachim and Ann.

She was raised as a traditional Jewish girl.

She was from either Nazareth or Jerusalem.

Answer 4

that's about her in Islam:

God chosed her from among all the women on mankinds and jin

Quran ch3
[43] O Mary! "Submit yourself with obedience to your Lord (Allâh, by worshipping none but Him Alone) and prostrate yourself, and Irkâ'i (bow down) along with Ar-Râki'ûn (those who bow down)."


Her dad name is Emran
Her mother told God, that whatever i have in my womb it's for you for your service:

Quran ch3
[35] (Remember) when the wife of 'Imrân said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing."

so Her wife had a baby girl. so God accepted her and raised her well.

Quran ch3
[37] So her Lord (Allâh) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariyâ (Zachariya). Every time he entered Al-Mihrâb to (visit) her , he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Maryam (Mary)! From where have you got this?" She said, "This is from Allâh." Verily, Allâh provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit."

she was well raised, worship God alone.

Then God sent her His messengers to tell her that she will have a son his name is Issa (Jesus). and he will be the coming prophet

Quran ch3
[45] (Remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allâh gives you the glad tidings of a Word ("Be!" - and he was! i.e. 'Isâ (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)) from Him, his name will be the Messiah 'Isâ (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honor in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allâh."
