The Theotokos.

The Mother of God. It is my understanding that Mary is the Mother of God. God would not be a trinity, unless He was born of woman. Genesis says that Eve was the mother of all the living. Genesis 3:20, "Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living." Adam was simply the first man. God is the Father of all the living and Mary is the Mother of God.

BTW, this icon was linked from and can be obtained from St. Isaac of Syria Skete an Orthodox monastery down the road a bit here.

What you are saying is that the Trinity came into existence in 4 B.C.!!!!?????

I thought I'd seen everything.

So this makes Mary the Mother and progenitor of the Trinity. Wow. No wonder you guys worship her.

With all due respect, your theology is not known to Christianity. Please reveal what denomination, chruch, sect, whatever you belong to. Otherwise any meaningful discussion is pointless.

Thank you. Here is another icon where Christ is giving the Scripture to His mother:

It is worthy to bless Thee, the Virgin
