When faith and Divine promise meet. Happy birthday blessed virgin Mary.

The birth of Mary, the Blessed Virgin, stands as one of the most celebrated events in Christian tradition, symbolizing hope, faith, and divine providence. Though the canonical Gospels do not record her birth, early Christian texts, particularly the Protoevangelium of James written in the second century, provide insight into her parents’ lives and the circumstances surrounding her arrival.
