Hi Cru,

Where was the original painting created, and were there any inscriptions included in the original painting?

Of course it is, but what is your understanding as to why the Holy See emphasized her particularly after and in response to the Reformation, and ever since?

Tradition has it that St Luke painted (or "wrote") the first icon, the Virgin Mary.

Maybe we can get the lady that restored this image of Jesus to restore that image of Mary:

He was a Jew... he would have never done such a thing.

The guy on the left in that image looks like he is scolding the woman for breast feeding in public.

That image is also an example of how people read things into pictures that were never intended.

I can't even tell from the picture if the person holding the baby is a man or a woman.

Did Mary have a mustache and goatee?

There is no such thing as "The virgin Mary"-Romans made it up.

Yep, Mary would never have passed a Jewish virginity test after giving birth to Jesus... and she would have been condemned under the Old Covenant if she never attempted to procreate with her husband afterwards.

Addressed here.

Given that the icon in the OP was painted in the mid 2nd-century, your question about something that would not occur for another fourteen-hundred years seems a bit out of place.

Joseph.

Luke was a Gentile.

You reject the Christian doctrine of the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ?

Show another painting of early Christians bowing down before it to pray to Mary, and you might have something.

No need. See this.

No no no. By "early Christians," I meant those whose lives and ways are recorded in the New Testament.

You missed it, shill. The "Virgin" Mary, i.e., Rome's title implies/asserts that she was always a virgin.

She was not, after the Lord Jesus Christ was born.

And it was not a "virgin birth"-it was a normal, human birth.

There was a virgin conception.
