Ave Maria
After the body of Jesus of Nazareth was hastily removed from the cross of his execution on the eve of the Passover Sabbath in c.AD30, he was cradled in the arms of his loving and grieving mother. This image has inspired artists through the centuries, but especially the great Michelangelo Buonarroti.
When Jesus was dying on the cross he addressed his mother and his dear disciple John. To Mary he said, looking to John, "Behold your son." And to John he said of Mary, "Behold your mother." And from this time the respect for Mary as a universal mother of us all was born. So to this day she is so honoured: Ave Maria.
