Fun Facts about Mother Mary & Jesus:

1. The name Mary comes from the Hebrew name Miriam and symbolizes “beloved” or “wished-for child,” a name connected to the sea, representing greatness
2. The book of Revelation portrays a woman who is very splendid and heavenly, a woman of great power. She gives birth to the Christ child. (Revelation 12:1-5)
3. When the angel Gabriel told Mary that she was going to have a baby, she said, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” (Luke 1:34).
4. Mary was betrothed (engaged to be married) to Joseph when she became pregnant. He considered divorcing her however an angel changed Joseph’s mind. So he honored the pledge and took Mary as his wife, but did not consummate the marriage until after Jesus was born (Matthew 1:20-25).
5. Jesus last name wasn’t Christ: We hear “Jesus Christ” so often that it’s easy to think that Christ is Jesus’ surname. It’s not. In first-century Palestine, people didn’t have last names. Christ comes from the Greek for Christos, which means “anointed one.”
6. Jesus was not an only child. It might be hard to imagine what it was like to be Jesus’ little brother or sister, but Mary and Joseph had other children after Jesus’ miraculous birth
7. Jesus had humble beginnings. Born into a carpenter’s family, Jesus came from a poor, day-laborer home. This means Jesus would have known what it was like to live in poverty and have hunger and need
8. Women helped fund Jesus’ ministry. Jesus had an incredible respect for women and even helped a woman who was about to be stoned to death. Not only did Jesus show us how to treat women, but women actually helped fund his ministry. Luke 8 talks about women who followed Jesus and his disciples and supported them through their own means
9. Jesus came to Earth to experience life as a human and empathize with us. He experienced heartache, rejection, deception, loss, sickness, and death, just like us.
