MARIAN PRAISE






Authority on Marian poetry
Dr. Luky Whittle is Professor of English and an authority on Marian poetry - poetry written in the praise of Mary of Nazareth,    


Foretold by prophecy
Mary's birth and destiny was planned by God before her arrival on earth. 
  Her being was foretold by Prophet Isaiah who prophesied, 
'Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive and will give birth to a Son, and will call Him Immanuel.' 
(Isaiah 7;14). 

Queen of Heaven
The Queen of Heaven was born the humble daughter of poor villagers in Nazareth, Israel. 
  Mary was courted by Joseph, and they announced their pledge to be married 
(Matthew 1;18). 
  She was visited by the Angel Gabriel who greeted her as highly favored by God 
(Luke 1;26).

Mother of the Son of God
The Angel explained to her that God had chosen her to be the mother of the Son of God, Jesus.
  Gabriel told Mary that her Son would be great, with the title 'The Son of the Most High.' 

  He would inherit the throne of his ancestor King David, and would rule eternally in heaven. 
(Luke 1; 30 - 33).
