Portfolio 1: Who’s Your Momma?

I think Mary is a woman, whom followed Jesus and she gave birth to him.Mary just gave birth to the son of God, she did not make him. She seems to be a religious Jew, whom follows the word of God. Mary seems to be a housewife and a caring woman, who is very clean and organized. She seemed to care for Jesus a lot, and look out for his own well-being before hers. She seems to be Holy and religious, in most of Mary's statues she is

After reading LUKE 1: 39-56 and MATTHEW 1: 18-25 Mary is a virgin and had a Son that was given to her by the Holy Spirit. Mary belonged to a lower economical stratum, being that her husband-to-be was a carpenter. Women seemed to be important to keep the family and generations growing, her pregnancy would have been seen as wrong and not rightful to her society because when the Holy Spirit gave her Jesus, Mary was still not married. Her society would had seen her as a dirty woman, whom had no respect for herself by getting pregnant before being married, and being owned by a man.

I personally think that God choose Mary because she showed the characteristics he wanted a mother to have. She was caring,responsible, Holy, and religious, as well as ethical. She showed she cared, by going to see Elizabeth when she was pregnant. She was responsible by being a housewife, and being loyal to her husband-to-be Joseph. Mary has demonstrated that she was Holy and born with out original sin, by being able to bear a fruit out of her womb given to her by the Holy spirit. Mary seemed to be religious by trusting in God and the Holy Spirit when they instructed her to have a Son and name him Jesus, that showed that she trusted in God and she knew that what God said would be the right thing to do. God wanted to choose a woman whom was going to trust him and look out for the well being of his son Jesus, he wanted someone he can trust as well.
