The primary reason for the growth of the adoration of the Virgin Mary during the Medieval and Renaissance Period was her symbolic power that was brought forth through art, sculpture and literature. She captured the Christians imagination through both popular devotion and a theological reflection of God in works created through out the Renaissance. It was the image of the “Mother of the Redeemer,” featuring the merciful kindness of the Savior and of His mother as companion in the redemption work of her son to show her divine right to her God.
During the Renaissance, the Virgin Mary was prevalent theme throughout this period where artists such as: Fra Angelico, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Bothicellical and Perugino were inspired to paint the Virgin Mary. The paintings show a motherly pleasant looking women holding or caring for her child. The paints are capturing the Mary as a human but giving her a divine appearance. The child being Christ shows her power by giving birth to him and by caring for the Son of God. In essence providing love, caring, and protection for the young child of God. For example, plate 15 and frame 23, these plates show a compassionate caring mother that is humanistic in depiction but larger or more encompassing of the painting than the Christ child. This is implying her importance in the early life of Christ. This also shows the power or her earthly influence over the child even though she is a human and not a deity. This gives her a special place in the church as the earthly Mother that is the most perfect of humans, other than Christ.
The Renaissance art clearly shows her as a motherly, honorable or respectable women to be adored by humans. Her expression in most of the artwork reflects a pleasant adoring look toward her child exhibiting unconditional love, faithfulness and obedience. This look tends show Mary as giving support and approval to her child in his actions on earth. This also brings human closer to God in that he was born human and fulfilled his scriptural duties on earth for us. Her importance to humans was also brought forth in similar sculptures in the Catholic church such as the “Pieta” and through literature of the times.
The symbol of mother and child was transformed in the Renaissance period by becoming more divine and becoming a focus of adoration by Christians. She was always the Virgin Mary Mother of God through out the early church but during the Medieval and Renaissance periods her position was elevated by art and literature. She was depicted as a human exhibiting heavenly and graceful qualities from her appearance in flowing robs to her innocent facial features. She is even presented in paintings being seen in heavenly thrones with Christ, elaborate beautiful surroundings. Prior these depictions of Mary she was simply a women who gave birth to Christ but through the though and art of the Renaissance she was included intimately with Christ in humanistic form.
The “Father” of the Holy Trinity
The true definition of an “Old Testament” person is revealed in a divinely conceived name, as revealed by the Holy Spirit, in His Revelation of the Trinity. It is “God” or “Christ” and has been created by the Spirit through Him in order that “he who has created the universe from nothing” may become like Him, becoming only as God. This creates one of two modes of having God, Christ, or Godhead:
1) He who acts humanly in order to make perfect life through the human works that He has made himself–such as a human being, God, or other divinely created being?
2) He who acts in humanly and, if not humanly, in order for other human beings to be a part of His body and soul through the natural and divine works of the Creator or, if not, humanly, through His being as a human being?
The nature of such a person as Christ is to create human beings from the very “material, or human” that He has created them through the natural and divine works of Creation so that they may then be perfect. For the creation is to create all things in the form of human flesh.
As such, the “Father” (or “Christ) is “manified”. He manifests himself through the man-seed as a being of infinite complexity and complexity.
The Man on the Day of Resurrection
There is no one who knows why they are called by the name of Jesus and not God. The Man is not “born” because He has died for us in our own mortality. He does not go to the world until He has made us there.
There is no one who knows why they have not become perfect. No one knows why they feel ashamed of themselves. Some may not want to get ready for their first day of existence, but that doesn’t make them great. They want to be in heaven. The whole world isn’t perfect to them, but somehow it is God’s plan to make them perfect in the same way that the world has become perfect to the human.
The Man who is Good
No one knows why they are called by the Name of Jesus and not God. The Man who is good is truly good. He comes to redeem people’s sins from their evil ways. He enters into a spiritual relationship with everyone who has sinned against Him.
The only man who knows what God thinks about people is Jesus.
