Could be, Rinny, that God wanted to unmistakeably affirm the special status of Mary, who always points to Christ, and who is called bless-ed by all generations.

Show me where the Bible says Mary always points to Christ??

She needed the Holy Spirit just as did everyone elses in the upper room.. and after that she ia never heard of again in the scriptures leaving us to know she went home and lived a quiet life ....

Protestants and Calvinists just cannot handle a sinless Jewish girl having more status than they do, presenting the Holy Babe to the shepherds, wise men, the steward at the wedding of Cana, present at the crucifixion and resurrection, and in the upper room with the apostles.

And Calvin not even knowing that the dead rose when the temple veil was rent? LOLOL!
