There is a church in Sardhana (Meerut,U.P.,India) of Mary. Can it be the place of worship of Mary the Lords wife.

Oh, heck. In Bolivia, there is a statue of "the Virgin" that is supposed to actually BE the Virgin Mary, Jesus' mom.
They dress it and they bathe it and they hold parties for it. They march it around and talk to it. It's their own little idol.
And not single out the Bolivians or anything. Lots of pesthole backwater benighted barely civilized places have these confused and frankly un-Christian practices that have gotten added on over the millennia. Like Easter. Like Christmas. Like St. Valentine's Day.
So some church in Sardhana, Meerut, UP, India (keep those cards and letters coming in, folks) is named after a "Mary"? Do tell?
Unlikely it's Mary Magdalene (she who the Dawinky code would have us believe was Jesus' regular squeeze and mother of his kids) though. More likely it's Mother Mary, speaking words of wisdom. Let it be.
Sorry.

Naming a Church after Mary or any Saint does not mean that the church was the place of worship of that Saint or that the church is worshipping that Saint.
We name churches, schools and even ships after someone to dedicate it to that person, and in the case of the Saints' names, add holiness and protection to that place.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death...
Jesus' mum was a Mary.
To many people listening to the banter about Da Vinci Code out there. They seem to forget that there was another Mary in the Bible.

Yes. The possibility of jesus being married to a human(ie:mary) as apposed to a church building(which he apparently hated and condemned anyway-read your own scripture, xtians!)is far more believable and realistic.
Any Historian will explain the corruption that was rife within the church, from then to the present day.
Silly xtians...blindly following the selected words of Men with selfish aspirations! Being told not to question it so they don't....almost Pitiful!

The Lord Jesus Christ has a bride (only ONE bride) it is the church...the body of Christian believers. She is NOT a place of worship or an individual person.

it is typically stated that Jesus is the bridegroom of His Church. "Marriage" can mean many stuff. what's something that a good marriage has? - Love, carring, a giving of oneself to the different. Jesus loves, cares for, and can provide Himself thoroughly to His Church. we are called to do an identical.

no - either his mother or favorite disciple. Jesus married humanity.
