"Vierge Sainte gardez votre maison"
Marie, fille juive de Judée, est la mère de Jésus de Nazareth. Les Églises catholique et orthodoxe accordent une place spéciale à Marie, qu'elles appellent Sainte Vierge, Notre Dame (plus souvent chez les catholiques) ou Mère de Dieu (plus souvent chez les orthodoxes) et qui est l'objet d'une dévotion particulière.
