The Blessed '''Virgin Mary''' is the mother of Our Lord [[Jesus Christ]]. The veneration of Mary is an essential belief of the [[Catholic Church]]. Mary is also venerated by Eastern [[Orthodox Church]] and Anglo-Catholicism. This veneration could take the form of prayer for intercession with her Son, Jesus. Many [[Protestantism|Protestants]], however, believe that the veneration of Mary is counter to what the Bible teaches.
