Why the Church Loves Mary

Since the dawn of Christianity, those who worship Jesus have loved His mother dearly. Here's a brief introduction why! More links below:

The Theotokos was the first Christian. She was the first to believe her son was the Saviour. It makes total sense that she is the chief human being in our church.

I love this channel brother. I’m in the process of becoming orthodox, please pray for me and my wife and children

I’m crying right now. As a “Protestant” dipping my toe into EO, this has been the best explanation for why Mary and you used scripture I can relate to. Thank you ❤❤❤

Previously as a Protestant I thought the “Mary stuff” was weird. Until I realized her blood literally nourished our God. And he chose her from the beginning of time. All the death in the old testament was to preserve her for His birth. So I started praying the rosary and it has brought me so close to God.

Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

“Behold, your Mother!” John 19:26-27 ♥

[BookofAkathists]

Go go go!

Many Protestants sing about the blood of Jesus in dozens of songs. It helped us to realize his blood came from her. Her heart and his heart shared blood for months on end. If the hem of Christ’s garment can heal how much more healing through sharing his blood for nine months. Her womb contained the uncontainable God making it more spacious than the heavens. What an incredible and incomprehensible reality. No wonder she makes philosophers mute as fish.

5:40 This question was the one question that led me out of Islam into New Age Spirituality and finally to Christianity.

“ BEHOLD YOUR MOTHER” truly brought me to tears 😭
This video was a beautifully done! Thank You! 🥹
O Most Holy Theotokos save! ☦️💕

[WilliamDusing]

Thank you. Coming from such a heavy "protestant" background, I need more time on this topic.

[cherylketcherside]

Thank you for this simple explanation. I am a Protestant researching the early church and it’s led me to the Orthodox Church. This explanation is so helpful! I couldn’t wrap my mind around Mary.

[kalebyenealem]

That was so beautiful! Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, intercede and pray for us!

[FatherAndTeacherTV]

Thank you for breaking this down. Those last words are beautiful: "Behold, your mother." ❤️☦️

Chefs' kiss
Chills went through my body at the very last part.
Truly great Video ❤️

[BluerayRomania]

One of the very best videos on the Theotokos. Thank you. We love our Theotokos tremendously!!!

[rtdude]

Wow that was utterly beautiful.
True Theotokos we magnify you.

I like the use of Αγνή Παρθένε (O Pure Virgin) melody in the backing track, nice touch.

Even when I was a child brought up in protestantism, I never understood the outright disrespect and hate of Mary.
On a human level it didn't make sense to me. The whole idea seemed extremely wrong to me.
I couldn't picture a reality where Jesus would tolerate disrespect of his mother. Just as any good son of a loving mother wouldn't tolerate it.
So when I converted, having The Theotokos put in her own rights just felt warming and right.

[sigurdholbarki]

Every time I hear those last words it hits me so hard and so profoundly, thank you from the bottom of my heart
