Mary is the mother of Jesus. Mary was born without original sin, therefore she could not sin. She is often pictured on a cloud, standing on a snake. The cloud shows her to be above all women, she is completely pure. The snake is symbolic of sin, it cannot bite her. She is the good mother to all.
Factually The Virgin Mary is symbolic more than what it appears. As in Mary is less important than belief in Jesus's Spiritual Father and He.
Virgin Mary, Mary or Mary mother of Jesus
All Christians believe in the Virgin Mary. Believe means to think she existed. Now if you mean venerate (honor and pray to), then no, they do not.
I am not sure what you mean by your question. Catholics do 'believe' in medicine.
When Catholics pray to Mary for her intercession, it means they are asking her to pray for them and bring their intentions or requests before Jesus. Catholics believe that Mary, being the mother of Jesus, holds a special place of honor and influence in Heaven and can intercede for them in a powerful way. It is believed that Mary's prayers have a particularly strong connection with Jesus.
No, a true Catholic HAS to believe in Mary, as should ALL Christians.Clarification:Anyone claiming to be Christian proclaims a beief in Mary each time they recite the Nicene Creed. One cannot be a Chrisitan without a befief in Mary.
The Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and Islamic religions all honor Mary to some extent, some more than others. Other eastern religions, such as Hinduism, do not honor her nor do they honor Jesus.
To most, especially Mexicans/Hispanics, she represents the only one u can count on in hardships. To others, they want to honor the Mother of God in such a way they never forget. To a small amount of people, she's just a trend :(. To Catholics it's a no-brainer that its dedication and devotion.
Do you mean a Virgin Birth? That is what happened when Joseph and Mary gave birth to Jesus. Joseph and Mary never slept together prior to Jesus's conception so it was a miracle that he was conceived. A virgin is someone who has never had sex - Mary was a virgin.
Yes, methodists believe in the "Virgin Mary" as do all Christians in that she is mentioned in the gospels as the Mother of Jesus and wife of Joseph. Methodists accept all that is biblical about her, that she gave birth to Jesus, sang the Magnificat, was present at the wedding in Cana, was present at the crucifixion and so on. Correction about the Catholics: "Mother Of God" Mary's most fundamental privilege is that of being the Mother of God. We do not mean she produced the divine nature, of course. But her Son is God, so she is the Mother of God. Catholics don't worship Mary: But it was misunderstand by many when a priest misinterpret what he said about the word worship. In common speech "worship" means the adoration given to God alone. In this sense Catholics don't worship Mary or any of the other saints. In fact, the Catholic Church forbids any adoration to be given to any one or any thing but God. But in an older use of the term "worship" could cover not just the adoration of God but also the honor given to anyone deserving of honor. We pray with the saints and ask for their prayers.
It generally means that they are not Catholics.
