In the Christian tradition, Mary, as the Mother of Jesus, is God's Mother. Other faiths do not agree; for instance, in the Koran Mohammed gives Mary great honor but calls Jesus only a prophet, not God himself, therefore denying that Mary is the Mother of God.

The Council of Ephesus, in the year 431 A.D., formally said that Mary is "God-bearer" (Theotokos in Greek), which means Mother of God. Since this Council took place before the split of the Christian Church into Catholic and Orthodox, both of these branches of Christianity are united in believing in Mary as God's Mother. Most Protestants would also say that Mary is God's Mother (although they might disagree with other Catholic and Orthodox doctrines regarding Mary's sinlessness or virginity).

God, as the creator of everything, doesn't HAVE a mother.
