To those of the Orthodox/Catholic tradition she is the mother of us all
to those atheists/agnostics perhaps she is nothing at all but a fairy tale..
I have always enjoyed the many perspectives expressed and explained and discussed in other religious/cultural threads in the past such as necklaces/crosses/amulets etc, or Protestant/Catholic/or Orthodox? and my Haile Selassie threads..
go.

Well i am of the Catholic Tradition, legally speaking my name is in the official Catholic register in the London Borough of Hounslow
The Virgin Mary has always been as meaningless as can be, her virginity says nothing about Jesus' words, and if she were a whore, would the teachings be rendered corrupot/dead?
Anyway, virginity is fine if it belongs to you, but when virginity belongs to EVERYONE, then i get uneasy
