Hello, my name is Mary, the mother of God. I was born on September 8th. My mother’s name was Anne and my father’s name was Joachim. My mother and father took me to the temple when I was three years old where I danced and ran up and down the stairs. I was educated in Jerusalem at the Temple of the Lord. I married Joseph when I was fourteen years of age. At age fifteen, the angel Gabriel came to me and told me I would have a son and his name would be Jesus, the son of God. I followed Jesus by traveling with his Disciples and being his mother. There are several miracles attributed to me, one of them is I was able to become Jesus’ mother as a virgin. Another miracle that I am responsible for was that I was without sin since the time of my birth. I died on August 15th with the Disciples by my side. My body and soul were taken up to heaven, which we celebrate as the Assumption. I was the first and original saint. My feast days are January 1st; August 15th, the Assumption; and the Immaculate Conception, on December 8th. I am the patron saint of all humanity.
