Dee Collier presents Mary Mother of Jesus

Sumter County Library System

Mary, the mother of Jesus, stands out not only for her unique role in history but also for the remarkable qualities she embodied—humility, faith, obedience, and a deep connection to God. Her story, as told in the books of Matthew, Luke, and Acts, paints a picture of a woman who, despite her young age, humble background, and gender in a time when women had limited social standing, was chosen for a purpose that would change the course of history.
