When she was 3 years old, her parents prepared themselves to carry out their vow; they took her to the temple in Jerusalem in order to dedicate her to the service of God. Mary remained in the temple until the age of 12. There she prayed and read the scriptures. In the temple she went to a special school with other maidens and learned the laws of God. She believed in God and she followed his laws. She was willing to serve only God, she gave a vow to never marry and stay a virgin. When she reached her 14th birthday, according to law, she wasn't allowed to stay at the temple and she had to wed (Some of my information says that Anna and Joachim died before the Virgin Mary married but others say nothing about it). The High Priest, being aware of her vow but reluctant to violate the law of marriage, formally betrothed her to a distant relative of Hers, Joseph. Joseph was a widow. Joseph promised to take care for her and protect her virginity. Joseph lived in Nazareth and was a carpenter. When the archangel Gabriel told Mary that she was going to conceive a child and bare a child who would be the son of God she replied "Let it be according to your word," meaning Mary chose to do God's will instead of her own. - I had to write a Church Essay on the Virgin Mary. I included interesting information! Enjoy :]

Why do you use she in this sentence My mother always says no one is as blessed as she?
