Mary, from Nazareth in Galilee, was the mother of [[Jesus]] of Nazareth. According to the canonical Christian scriptures she conceived Jesus by the power of the [[Holy Spirit]] at a time when she was already the betrothed wife of [[Joseph (father of Jesus)|Joseph]] of the House of David, but he had not yet taken her home, which means that they had not yet celebrated the concluding wedding rite prior to which a couple are not permitted to live together and have conjugal relations. Mary was present when Jesus was crucified and saw him risen. The [[Eastern Orthodox]] and [[Roman Catholic]] specially venerate her; and she is often referred to as the Blessed Virgin Mary. There are particularly some very [[Roman Catholic: Mary|controversial teachings in the Roman Catholic church regarding Mary]] that are denied in the [[Protestant churches]].
