It is often thought that the Virgin Mary is hardly ever mentioned in the Bible...
This chapter will show that direct mention of Our Lady, in the New Testament, is more frequent than what is normally believed and these lines are often very profound, and occur at crucial times in the life of Jesus Christ.
For the Church Fathers, the Old Testament is also filled with figures, images and prophecies foretelling Mary's life and mission - that of the Woman who was to give birth to the awaited Messiah.
