Behind all of the images is a girl who grew up to be the mother of Christ.How did the first Christians view her?What were the commonly understood facts about the Blessed Mother's early life, before the Annunciation?How did Mary, the mother of Jesus, become the "Theotokos"? This book gives some surprising insights.
