Mary is the simple story of a mother's love for her son and the great story of the mother of our saviour. The stoy unfolds in the little town of Nazareth. We see Mary, demure and self-effacing, when Joseph seeks her in marriage. We see her emerge, through sacrifice and a profound faith, as a towering figure, acquainted with grief, but so imbued with wisdom and love for suffering humanity that she can transcend earthly sorrow. we come to understand the deep roots of the Christian story in the Jewish tradition, the ancient hope for the Messiah as foretold by the prophets.
