The same greek word used in Luke 1:28 about Mary is used also in:

So why isn't bread, fish, Abraham, Jacob, and the sons of Joseph given the same veneration as Mary?

None of them are full of grace. Also, none of them were the Mother of God.

This isn't really that difficult to understand.

Matthew 26:26: Yes, the Body of Christ is most certainly given MORE veneration than Mary.

Mark 8:7: Christ was saying a blessing, as we do before we eat.

Galatians 3:9: Refers to people of faith, and yes we are blessed.

Hebrews 7:1: This is a man blessing another man, it has nothing to do with God.

Hebrews 11:20-21: Again, this deals with men not God.
