The Virgin Mary (Patron of Mothers)

Patron Saint: Mother of God

The Virgin Mother of God, Saint Mary was born to Father Saint Joaquin and Mother Saint Anne. Raised in a religious and pious home, Mary was compelled to live a life dedicated to God and her Religious beliefs, which were devoutly Jewish, with Moses considered as the Divine Messenger of God.

Shortly before Jesus was born onto Mary, Saint Joseph wed the Virgin Mother, yet had no physical relations with her, due to the fact that Mary consecrated her Virginity to God. Mary was told by the Archangel St. Gabriel through the Annunciation, that she will concieve the Son of God by the Power of The Holy Spirit. Joseph is considered to be the Betrothed Father of Jesus as he raised Jesus as his own, although Jesus was not born of Joseph's loin.
The Virgin Mother Saint Mary bore The Baby Jesus in the Manger of a farm in Bethlehem. Both Mary and Joseph were very concerned for the safety of the Newborn Christ because the authorities had caught wind of the coming of a Newborn King. In response, the Emperor Herodes sent his armies to kill the first born male child of every family in the city.
Mary was extraordinarily humble and pious, raising Jesus to follow the scriptures devoutly.
The Virgin Mother Saint Mary is venerated as the Mother of the Christian and Catholic Church. Saint Mary is also indoctrinated in a wide range of Patronages such as Mothers, Airline Pilots, Cyclists and Dioceses worldwide. The grace of The Virgin Mother extends to countless Catholic and Christian Institutions. Many countries, states and cities celebrate her memorials and feasts as there are several, every month of the year.

The Virgin Saint Mary is depicted in several Catholic images and prayers such as the Immaculate Conception, Our Lady of Guadalupe, The Annunciation, Holy Family, Sacred Heart, Madonna and Child, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Lourdes and Hail Mary.
