Dear Readers of Rome,
On Friday, we will learn about Jesus' mother, Mary, a truly important figure in Christian devotion.
Please do the following:
(1) Download, print, and read the fact sheet about Mary, Mother of God.
(2) Download, print, and read the Marian selections from the New Testament.
(3) Download, print, and read the selections from the Proto-Gospel of James.
(4) Download, print, and read the Marian hymns, introduced and translated by Vasiliki Limberis.
As you do these readings, consider how Mary might be compared and contrasted with women we read about in pagan sources, such as Tarpeia or Lucretia.
