Context Matters

Encountering Mary, Part 2

Episode Summary

What do the earliest paintings of Mary tell us about how the early Christians perceived her? Join me as I talk with Frederica Mathewes Green about the historical view of the Theotokos and as she reads one of the ancient prayers that plead for Mary to intercede on behalf of the believer. Frederica also explains what is going on when a person stands before an icon of Mary.
