Mary was the mother of Jesus, who projected the same kindness and love that her son had. Looking at her in the quad she looks different than I thought she was projected to be. In the quad her eyes are looking down and she looks scared or sad. Mary also looks humble.
In these passages you can tell Mary was a little scared but willing to have Jesus because she didn't know how Joseph would react to her pregnancy. Mary felt releaved when the Holy Spirit came to Joseph in a dream and explained to him what he needed to do. Joseph had no union with her until she had her baby, which they named Jesus. A woman who has been through the power of God and the Holy spirit can predict powerful things. Mary understands all the great things God has done for her so she wished to be called blessed. She preaches to Elizabeth about all of the things God has done just like her son Jesus will like the passage from Luke 1:39-56 , "He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts." Women were treated like objects. They were to walk behind the man and ate last. Nobody appreciated them except Jesus when he spoke to Mary Magdelene ven though she was a prostitute. People would have looked down on Mary because of her pregnancy and on top of it they would scorn her for being divorced.
Nothing was special about Mary, she was poor, unmarried, and probably uneducated why would God chose someone so imperfect. Well God did say nobody on the earth was perfect and everybody has sinned. I think God chose Mary because he wanted to show that he knows best and that he can do anything he wants, and by picking an unperfect person, he proves it. Mary rejoiced the Lord and didn't brag to people that she was picked, she was very humble and honored.
