The significance of Marian devotion can be traced back to the early Church, where Mary was honored as the Theotokos, or God-bearer. This title, affirmed at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD, underscores her pivotal role in the Incarnation and highlights the theological implications of her motherhood. As the one who bore the Son of God, Mary is seen as a vital participant in the mystery of salvation, making her an intercessor for all who seek to draw closer to Christ.
