Catholics love to pretend that Mary was some special case and special class of human being and at the time everyone knew it and revered her, including Joseph.
However, Scripture bears a different record.
Mary was puzzled over the angel’s greeting. She clearly didn’t think she was special.
After the shepherds left, Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. This was something very unusual and clearly she wasn’t expecting it. Otherwise it would have cost her no need for thought or pondering.
Mary and Joseph both marveled at the prophecy Simeon spoke over Him. They obviously didn’t expect that.
When Jesus stayed in Jerusalem and they found Him in the Temple, they were astonished and Mary chastised Him, saying they were searching for Him in great distress.
Interesting what the Greek has to say here.
Astonished - https://biblehub.com/greek/1605.htm
“Definition: To astonish, to amaze, to be struck with amazement.
Meaning: I strike with panic or shock; I amaze, astonish.”
and....
distress - https://biblehub.com/greek/3600.htm
“Definition: To cause pain, to be in anguish, to grieve
Meaning: I torment, pain; mid. and pass: I am tormented, pained; I suffer acute pain, physical or mental.”
Later Mary and His brothers came to take Him home because they thought He was out of His mind.
Also, all the people that knew Him and His earthly family thought He was Joseph’s son. That’s why they were so intent on killing Him and almost threw Him off the hill to His death.
This fantasy about people at the time knowing who He truly was is just wishful thinking with NO evidence at all to support it.
